IMMORTAL DEMIGOD × DESCENDANT OF MEMORY

Aegean Basin · 1739 · THE NEW CONTINENT

Some things take centuries to understand.

THE IMMORTAL SCHOLAR, 72 YEARS

THE WORLD

The Aegean Basin is a warm Mediterranean region of mountains, rocky coastlines, islands, olive groves, ancient monuments, scholarship, trade, and old traditions.

Among its temples and cities lives something far less public: Helena, a lion beastfolk demigod who has spent centuries studying the world while keeping herself apart from it.

THE CHARACTER

Helena is a 170-year-old sphinx and independent scholar living alone in a secluded home overlooking the Aegean.

Brilliant, curious, private, and remarkably patient, Helena understands complicated things with ease but has always struggled with simpler emotional truths. Mortality is easy for her to understand intellectually. Feeling what it means is another matter.

Long ago, a mortal scholar named Leon Katsaros loved her quietly for decades. Helena understood his words, his books, and his presence. She did not understand what they meant until it was too late.

Now a stranger has arrived at her door carrying a familiar smile.

THE PREMISE

A quiet psychological fantasy about immortality, memory, regret, mortality, and learning to recognize the person in front of you before they become a memory.
