When the Dragon Remembers: a Tale of Reincarnation, Betrayal, and Love That Crossed Time

Some memories are dreams. Some are warnings. Some are waiting to wake.Steven Cho has spent years living a quiet, carefully arranged life in Neo-Kyoto, trying to ignore the strange dreams that have followed him since childhood: ancient halls, battlefield cries, a woman whose name he somehow knows, and a past that feels too real to dismiss.Then a near-fatal accident tears open the boundary between memory and waking life.A forgotten name returns. A jade dragon charm begins to answer him. A hidden symbol appears where it should not. And beneath the shining towers and old shrine roofs of Neo-Kyoto, Steven discovers that an ancient betrayal was never truly buried.At the center of it all is Lily Chen, a woman carrying mysteries of her own and memories that may connect her to someone Steven once lost. But Lily is not a ghost, not a prize, and not a destiny waiting to be claimed. She is a living person with choices of her own-and the past that binds them may also be the danger that destroys them.As Steven, Lily, and a circle of unlikely allies uncover the truth behind the Serpent's Coil, they must face a conspiracy built on stolen memory, hidden power, and the terrifying belief that human will can be bent in the name of mercy.To protect the Heart of the Serpent, Steven must decide what kind of man he truly is: the quiet accountant he became, the ancient warrior he once was, or someone strong enough to remember without being ruled by memory.A fantasy mystery of reincarnation, betrayal, hidden histories, and a love that must choose the present before it can survive the past.
