In a world where history is a weapon, survival is a marathon, and the past is a debt that must be paid in blood. Ana Asher became a reluctant public figure when her magnum opus, Raping the Goddess achieved international acclaim. A field biologist who utilized science to unravel ten thousand years of history and dismantle established narratives, she soon finds her life under siege. Seeking the safety of the global stage, she flies to Istanbul to speak at an International Human Rights Symposium where she meets Orion-the enigmatic security consultant assigned to be her bodyguard. Orion Hunt has reincarnated on this earth for ten thousand years, trapped in a cycle he cannot escape. Carrying the burden of memories from every life he has lived, he searches for the goddess he followed down from the stars, desperate to save her from the fate that claims her in every life. When he meets Ana Asher, he recognizes her as the latest iteration of that sacred soul, brought into his orbit by the Weave of Fate just as the shadows close in. As mercenaries descend on the Böaziçi campus to silence Ana's work, she and Orion are forced to flee into a tightening noose. In this modern Homeric epic, they are thrust into a desperate race into the heart of Anatolia, into the very lands where Orion has watched his goddess for thousands of years. He has vowed to break their curse, but as Fate violently unravels his efforts, he is forced back into the godhood he sacrificed as-for the first time in ten thousand years-his goddess begins to wake up.
