Though only together for a few months in her first life, their love is written in the stars.

Using scientific research compiled over decades, Wilhelm ensures that, for him and his beloved, death is only the beginning. But the voice of Gabriela will not let his version of events go unchallenged. She tells the story of her sister Luciana, fearless and full of life, and the madman who robbed her from her grave. Based on a chilling true story.
