Nine Lives to Divinity

Born with a divine bloodline, a young prodigy is bound by a ten-lifetime curse that transforms affection into lethal agony. He is sworn to protect a mysterious, innocent girl whose shattered soul holds the key to an ancient conspiracy. But as his power grows, he discovers she is destined to become his deadliest adversary—an emotionless goddess of war serving a tyrannical celestial order. Hunted by gods and men, he must embrace his forbidden heritage and awaken the power of his past incarnations. Each near-death battle unlocks the skills of forgotten masters, forging him from a fugitive into a king of demons. To save the woman he loves, he must first wage war against her and shatter the very heavens that decree their tragic fate.
