On a remote island world offering fifty years of paradise in exchange for a life of eternity, young Dela’s life is shattered when her enigmatic soulmate is taken early. She must wait decades living her own heritage years before uncovering earth-shattering secrets that challenge everything she knows, prove ancient legends true and contest the promise of Forever.
Forever ’til Forever follows Dela, a young islander growing up on an isolated paradise in the South Pacific. When she meets the enigmatic Soti, her predictable world begins to unravel. As their relationship deepens, she wrestles with her love for the island and the dark secrets he shows her it holds.
After Soti’s sudden departure, Dela must wait decades before she can join him in the Forever – a promised afterlife for all Islanders who transition. But something isn’t right with their paradise. What lies beyond its strictly enforced boundaries? Why does the mysterious Old Man Thales wield such power? And what really happened to Soti? As Dela uncovers disturbing truths about her home, she must wrestle with everything she thought she knew and decide how far she’ll go to preserve her destiny.
This mind-bending science fiction tale explores themes of love, truth, and the price of paradise. Against the backdrop of a seemingly idyllic island that may be more prison than utopia, it’s a gripping tale of romance, rebellion and revelation that will keep readers guessing until the final page.
