Summary
For more than twenty years, Olivia Benson worked to hide what she was. It took a flashbang in a Queens warehouse to expose her, placing her on the verge of a fatal Zone out. And it took the return of the one man she swore she’d never trust again to pull her back. Now, Rafael Barba isn't just in her life—he's in her head, and the silence he offers might be the only thing louder than the noise.
Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you
Let me take your hand, I'll make it right
I swear to love you all my life
Hold on, I still need you
–’Hold On’ -

Summary
For three thousand years, they have found each other in every life: as enemies in Rome, lovers in a trench, strangers on a ship to America. Now, trapped in a world of plea deals, late-night arraignments, and buried trauma, they are forced to confront the history that lives in their blood.
Baby It was you and me
In every other life
Every single time
When you met me
Your soul remembered mine

“What look?” Nick balked. How did he know?!
“That look,” Barba said as he flipped through the folder. The bastard was not even looking.
“That look? You're not even looking at me.”
“I don't have to be looking to know.”
“To know what, Counselor?”

Nick could not believe he had the nerve to blush.

Summary
When Drew Householder’s mother cannot bring herself to pull the plug, Rafael Barba does what he has learned to do best—he disappears.
When he wakes, the decision has been made.
One of his alters stepped forward while he was gone and ended a child’s life in the name of mercy. Now Rafael must turn inward, navigating a fractured internal landscape of faith, pity, grief, and guardianship to uncover the truth: who acted, why they did it, and what it means that kindness—not rage—was the hand on the switch.
This is not a whodunit about guilt.
It’s a reckoning with consent, moral injury, and the terrifying realization that sometimes the most dangerous choices are made out of love.Series
