Split Soul

Aaron Aalto died in a plane crash. The man who walked out of the forest was someone else entirely. A story about a man who had to lose his memory to find his soul.* The world called it a miracle. He calls it a prison.Aaron Aalto was a man of order, rules, and silence. A scholar of rigid structures. But when his plane crashes into the dense, frozen forests of the North, the uniform of his carefully constructed life burns away, leaving him broken, scarred, and stripped of his memory.He is saved by Maya, a woman who lives by the laws of roots, tides, and blood. In her clay hut, surrounded by crystals and guarded by a wolf, Aaron is reborn. He learns the language of the wind. He learns that connection is not spoken in words, but shared in breath. He learns to love with a fierceness that defies the cold logic of his past.But the civilized world is loud, and it does not let go of its icons easily.When rescue comes, it tears them apart. Aaron is thrust back into the cold, marble halls of his former existence, haunted by the ghost of the "e;Warrior"e; he became in the woods. He wears the mask of duty again, but under his shirt, a black onyx stone burns against his skin.Torn between the crushing expectations of his old life and the raw, untamed truth of his heart, Aaron must make a choice.Will he remain a hollow figure in a life he no longer understands? Or will he burn his world to the ground one last time to find the woman—and the secret—waiting for him in the shadows?"e;My soul had to break in half so the light could get in."e;
