“[A] moving philosophical tale about the power of fate … Heard gradually weaves together dreamscapes and present-day events into a beautiful, centuries-spanning story of soulmates. It’s an immensely satisfying metaphysical drama that tempers its tragedy with hard-won hope.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“In this utterly original novel, Wendy Heard delivers a deeply satisfying, mystical, and engrossing thriller-come-romance. Surprising from start to finish, How the Story Always Ends not only is a propulsive read, it’s one that gets you pondering the mysteries of life and feeling perhaps the most unique of human emotions: yearning… . Unputdownable!”—Xochitl González, New York Times bestselling author of Olga Dies Dreaming

A bloody mystery that spans centuries, like The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue delivered on a knife’s edge.”—Mike Chen, New York Times bestselling author of Here and Now and Then

This has the emotional sweep of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and the irresistible pace of a thriller you can’t put down.”—Halley Sutton, USA Today bestselling author of The Hurricane Blonde
