A war party halts beneath a darkening sky.
A scout remembers rivers that no longer flow.
A girl hums an old tune as the eclipse begins.
Across realms and centuries, the same names echo, the same choices fracture the world anew, whispering of a path their souls can never escape.
In the year 1560, as a solar eclipse creeps across the Great Lakes, a handful of souls awaken to memories that do not belong to this life. Bound by prophecy, haunted by past betrayals, and caught in the throes of a spiritual war they barely understand, they must decide repeat the tragedy, or break the Dual Bind.
But destiny is never simple.
Old alliances stir beneath the forests; forgotten enemies whisper from the threshold of other realms. What sleeps in one era haunts in another, and the smallest decision can shatter the balance between worlds.
Told with sweeping prose and layered myth, Under The Cycle: Dual Bind is a lyrical, time-folding tale of reincarnation, sacrifice, and the power of remembrance. Part historical epic, part metaphysical mystery, it is the first entry in The Waking Earth Saga—where no life is ever truly lost, and every love bears the weight of eternity.
