Early Reviewers

Nico and Elly wake in a bed meant for three, both feeling the absence of Prim.

Immortal by pure mischance, Nico has moved through the world for centuries with carefree ease. Elly is mortal, her time is precious. Nico intends to build the most beautiful life possible.

The Mediterranean calls. On a Greek island, in a white rock villa above a private cove, a life takes shape that none of them dared imagine. Limestone cliffs, shimmering water, and Ithaca sitting on the horizon like a legend made solid. Nico believes, after centuries of living, that this is the best time of his life.

Elly is attacked. In crisis they become one being, and she tastes what it means to be more than human. The ecstasy is absolute. But that flood of power shatters reality, and through the breach waits a realm of pure terror where fear wears familiar faces, designed to break her.

She is not easily broken.

There is warmth, comedy and terror in equal measure, and sometimes, without warning, in the same breath.
