Preview below!
Jean Kirschtein is seven years old when his mother tells him that everyone in the world has a soulmate. Finding that person, however, is not particularly common. With the distance between villages and walls and no faster means of communication or travel than a horse, it can be difficult to find your special one.
“She’ll feel your pain and pleasure too, Jeanie. So when you feel her stomach hurt, you can rub your tummy, and she’ll feel a little better. If you get too cold, she can rub her hands on her arms, and you’ll feel a little warmer. Even if you marry someone else, you must never forget to take care of your soulmate.”
Reiner Braun is seven years old when his mother tells him that every Eldian in the world has a soulmate. It was the will of the first king, to urge his subjects to spread his demonic seed. They feel the pain and pleasure of their fated one echo in their body starting at the age of ten. That’s how old Ymir Fritz was when she made a deal with the Devil of All Earth. For two thousand years, Eldians used their soulmates to breed and terrorize the world.
“That’s also why your father isn’t here. My soulmate…your father…is Marleyan. He can’t be with us Eldians.” He sees her turn away, covering her mouth, and he realizes she’s crying. His eyes go wide. He doesn’t want his mother to cry. “If only we were Marleyan…”
