When I read the premise for this book / series, I was immediately interested. I really like Thea Harrison's Elder Races series (book 1 Dragon Bound) so I was excited when I learned that she had something new coming out. 
 Mary is a doctor who just got off working a crazy 26 hour shift at the hospital. She had a restless night sleep and is feeling a bit off. SHe initially blames fatigue, but when she starts to hear voices in the wind, she knows something is seriously wrong with her. When she starts looking at her life a little closer, Mary realizes that maybe the vivid and strange dreams she's always had are more than just dreams. Regardless, she knows she has to get away otherwise she's on the verge of a mental breakdown. She decides to take a day trip to her old college and from there her life changes in unexpected ways. 
 There's no secret that this book deals with reincarnation. Specifically a group of beings who have been reincarnated through time in order to fight The Deceiver. There are seven who fight The Deceiver and six of them are paired up with their mate. Literally the other half of their soul. If one dies the other soon follows and all that. Mary and Michael are the only soul pairs who still survive and they haven't seen each other in a reincarnated life in over 900 years. It was that time long ago that Mary sustained an injury not only to her physical self but to her psychic self as well. This may be one of the causes of the pair being separated for so long. 
 Now, Mary's time is running out. Her abilities are ready to make themselves known and, by consequence, The Deceiver is looking for her. 
 It's a complicated story mixed with flashbacks and visions I could definitely understand how it could throw someone for a loop. There were a couple times I thought I may get lost in the tangled threads, but Thea Harrison does a really good job with building the world up. She takes her time to slowly introduce every detail. That may be where a lot of readers lose interest. There is a lot of background information given with very little action until the end. I, however, found the past life sequences to be the most interesting. For me, they drove the story more than the present day. I think because Mary, for the majority of the book, is stumbling through all the new information she's learning, she's not really doing much else until a good way through. 
 I think the set up for the next book is really good. We are left on a slight cliffhanger. Nothing really crazy, but obviously the story is not over and has more places to go, which will be in the next book Falling Light which is supposed to be out early 2014. 
 I do recommend this book to anyone who's read Thea Harrison's other work. I think it's a good departure from her previous work and look forward to reading the next book.
