Get ready to go on a long magical journey through time with "Soul Mates" Ellie and Ben in this exciting Science Fiction/Fantasy novel by Jason Chan.Ellie starts life as an incredibly beautiful but alas very poor daughter of a humble fisherman.  She determines (and promises her father) at a young age to marry a rich or wealthy man so she can climb out of the abject poverty she was born into.  While her ambitions to marry up the social ladder don't go necessarily as planned, she does her best to attain that goal until love takes a hold of her soul.Ben is the second son of the Duke of Brittany, and as such is slated for a life in the priesthood.  Ben is made to understand the great amount of power awaiting him in such a vaulted position as a possible future pope.  Ben's plans go awry when his recessive ancestral genes begin to assert dominance over his soul.  He learns that he is a Cambion and is descended from the ancient, immortal demons of old.  Starting at the age of 27, Ben must struggle to keep the Cambion inside him from taking over his soul.Through a series of challenging events spaced centuries apart, Ben and Ellie grow closer each short time they are able to be together before the Guardian catches up to them.Jason Chan does an excellent job of keeping the story moving and the reader guessing.  This is more than just a love story-it's a tale of true love between "Soul Mates" that will touch your heart.  This is a great book for any reader who enjoys a perfect blending of Fantasy, Science Fiction, Paranormal, and Romance genres in a single story.
