Riyati Rebirth’s cover is on the left. On the right is the following text: “Riyati Rebirth - With great power comes your past incarnations and future self playing chess with your existence. | Book 1 of a queer dark fantasy series exploring identity, legacy, & trauma. At the bottom is an illustration of a dragon, crystals, skulls, and planets with the following text: “Indie Book Sale - indiebook.sale . Santasy, SciFi, & Horror 11 - 13 April”
Her whole life, Kylie Rae had been concerned with appeasing her demanding, achievement-focused mother while enjoying an otherwise peaceful teenage life of sleeping late and hanging out with friends after school.
That all changes after she learns she’s the reincarnation of a destroyed magic kingdom’s crown princess after she and her two closest friends end up in a life-threatening situation. Now she has her past incarnations and somehow her own future self as distinct consciousnesses in her head, each with their own agenda — one that doesn’t necessarily line up with Kylie’s own interests.
Even worse, her past two incarnations were killed by the same man… and he’s coming for her next. If she doesn’t adapt to her new life of magic and secrets, making A’s to appease her mom will be the least of her concerns — she’ll be just as dead as the incarnations body-sharing with her.

“Did you hear? It happened again,” a girl beside me said to her friend, hushed whispers. “Another person went missing. No trace of their body. Cops can’t find anything.”
I pulled my phone out, scrolling through my social media feed. Everyone kept talking about this — probably was just people running away; it wasn’t like there was much else to talk about in this city. Usually, we imported our drama fresh from Savannah, but people started going “missing” over a month ago, right as we came back from holiday break. And it’s all I’d heard about since then, from Dani, from my classmates.
It didn’t affect me. I wasn’t stupid enough to roam outside at random hours, go down dark alleyways with strangers following me. I’d never even been to detention, though knew more about it than I probably should thanks to Jordan being a frequent visitor. Speaking of, I picked my duffel bag up as I saw him walk out the front doors of the school, searching for me in the spot I normally stood.
