The story is essentially summarised by Sloane’s opening monologue, so just to add a few more details: Yes, Sloane is a witch from the Bloodborne coven. Yes, she’s lived many lives, as this series is a ReincarnationRomance, and all she wants is to be reunited with Taylor, her soulmate and fellow Bloodborne witch, with whom she’s shared all those past lifetimes. But Taylor has no memory of her past lives, and thus no memory of her prior relationship/s with Sloane, whom Taylor last knew as a man named Rick, who died in 2012.

But Taylor has no memory of her past lives, and thus no memory of her prior relationship/s with Sloane, whom Taylor last knew as a man named Rick, who died in 2012.

Meanwhile, the ancient battle between good and evil rages around them both, as the Alina—the “good” witches, on the side of the light—have been drugging Taylor all this time, working to make sure she doesn’t get back her memories, and on the flipside, her fellow Bloodborne (obviously on the dark side) want her dead, and permanently. For Taylor doesn’t know it yet, but she is one of the most powerful of dark witches in history, and it has been prophesied that when she finds out who she really is, she could bring about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt …
