What if the person you were meant to be with could never be yours?

In the world of Lauren Kate's novels, particularly in her Fallen series, the idea of star-crossed lovers and forbidden love is a central theme. The concept of two people who are meant to be together, but are unable to be together due to circumstances beyond their control, is a recurring motif in her stories.

In the Fallen series, the main characters, Luce and Daniel, are soulmates who are destined to be together for eternity. However, their love is constantly thwarted by forces beyond their control, such as ancient curses and powerful enemies. Despite their deep connection and undeniable love for each other, they are unable to be together in the way they long for.

This idea of a love that is meant to be, but can never be fully realized, is a heartbreaking and poignant theme that resonates with many readers. It speaks to the universal experience of longing for something that is just out of reach, of yearning for a love that is forbidden or impossible.
