The Ninth Time I Killed You
She has killed him eight times.
Sera Kestrel has served a deathless order for four hundred and twelve years. Across eight lives, she has loved the same soul and ended each life before its memories could return in full.
The order has always given her the same a Kell who remembers everything would unmake the world. In four centuries she has never once asked to see the proof.
This is the ninth life. Kell repairs instruments on the harbor front of Anvergast, and he is remembering faster than ever. He remembers her her face, her name, a small thing she said two hundred years ago.
This time, Sera cannot bring herself to finish the work. What she finds while hesitating is worse than the catastrophe she was promised.
A dark, slow-burn romantasy about a woman who is the villain of her own love story.
Adult fantasy romance. Slow burn, open door. The story continues in Book Two.

What a gripping dive into a high-stakes, time-loop narrative that blends dark mystery with relentless tension. Nadia Vestry crafts a complex protagonist whose repeated cycles of violence and discovery keep the pacing sharp and the stakes escalating with every iteration. It is a haunting, inventive start to the series that masterfully balances psychological weight with a truly unique supernatural premise.
I'm loving the characters and can't wait to dive into the next book...
