Deep Love, Shallow Fate

Under the operating lamp, their eyes meet—and a thousand-year-old wound tears open. She's a modern investigator of supernatural crimes, haunted by scars she can't explain. He's the shadow from her past life, when she was a demon-slaying swordswoman and he mended her battle-torn robes by lamplight. Now a campus murder reveals cracks in her ribs that match ancient beast bites, and a buried cat demon still cries her forgotten name. The rain on glass towers echoes temple eaves from lifetimes ago. Some loves are too deep to die. Some fates are too shallow to last.
