8 Fascinating Fantasy Books With Characters Who Reincarnate

The book follows Evan as he ponders strange memories of past lives. He recalls being a soldier and as a toddler, though it feels impossible to him. He’s also unable to explain why he speaks a foreign language and has a childhood trauma.

During this difficult period of his life, he meets Poppy, who reveals to him that she’s a member of the Cognomina, a secret society, and that she and the other members reincarnate or have returned from a past life.

The book is followed by The Cognomina Codex, which is equally as fascinating as this one.

This book, set in modern-day China and told from multiple perspectives and timelines, follows Yinhe, who reincarnates several times as different characters. They are Qilan, a royalty who lost their friend Ling when they took her in the “bardo” in 750 CE.

Now in the present, Yinhe wants to reunite with Ling more than ever. But first, they must reclaim a drawing from a demon named Gui, who stole it in order to use its powers to summon a god and rule the world. For millennia, humans have been handing down this artwork, with the last keeper giving it to another to preserve the painting’s power.

This is the third and final book in the author’s series in which the characters are archangels who can reincarnate with their memories intact.

It follows Zadkiel, who believes his lover, Ella, died. They loved each other in many reincarnations over many lifetimes. Zadkiel believes that he lost Ella forever in this reincarnation. He’s surprised, however, that she’s still alive. Against this backdrop, his mother, Luci, must fight Mikhael, another archangel who banished her from their realm.

The book follows Bree and her journey to self-discovery. When Bree’s mother died, she didn’t want to stay with her family. So, she went to college to leave it all behind and forget about the painful memories associated with her mother. After moving there, however, she begins to encounter strange and magical events.

One of these strange things leads to the realization that her mother’s death may not be what it appears to be. She learns more about some people, who are known as Legendborn, who fight demons. The Legendborn are descendants of King Arthur’s knights who inhabit the bodies of their descendants. In some way, they reincarnate.

The story follows Amari, who appears to have the ideal life. She’s about to marry, but a stranger — who seems very familiar — asks for her help.

Amari meets the stranger, who’s named Caspar, just as her husband leaves for a trip after their wedding. But then they are attacked and are forced to seek assistance from a community known as the Pagan Nation. There, Amari discovers that she’s a reincarnating demon. Yet, she doesn’t seem to remember her previous lives, old memories, or how she ended up where she is now, and she has no idea who Caspar is or whether she should trust him.

As she works to discover her true identity, she finds herself trapped between two worlds: the Amari of today, who has a loving husband, and the Amari of yesterday, who appears to be romantically involved with Caspar.

Neve and her sisters are Irish war gods who protect the world against demons. They reincarnate when they die, but they don’t get their full memories and powers back until they turn 18. Still under 18, Neve wants more than ever to become her true self.

But she’s still in high school and hates being human — until she meets Alexandria. The two fall in love along the way. However, Alexandria is being pursued by Hell, so Neve has to protect her from evil.
