Immortality has its downsides — like running into the one person you swore you’d never see again, still carrying a grudge older than the United States income tax.

"What, did you think after you vanished into the misty night I'd just keel over from heartbreak? Please, I've been breaking hearts since before they invented the stethoscope."

➜ ┊: the blurb .ᐟ ❀

Immortality isn’t glamorous. It’s not golden palaces and vampire capes—it’s paperwork, fake IDs, and carefully pretending you’re only thirty... again. Still, you’ve managed. You’ve built a life, or at least the closest thing an eternal nomad can have.

Then your past literally runs into your cart in aisle nine. Your ex. Two hundred years gone, two hundred years avoided, and yet somehow here she is. Sarah Fiennes. Not dead. Not aged. Not even slightly humbled. Just as annoying and quintessential American as the day she left you (and now immortal too).

Eternity was hard enough alone. Now it looks like you’ll have to share it. With the one person you swore you’d never see again.

➜ ┊: the premise .ᐟ ❀

They look like everyone else. They work jobs, buy groceries, laugh at bad movies. But they do not age. Their bodies repair themselves endlessly, their cells locked in an eternal cycle of renewal.

They are the immortals—scattered, rare, and nearly undetectable. Nations have tried to capture and study them, only to fail. Hunters stalk them, conspiracy theorists imagine them, and sometimes history mistakes them for gods. To survive, immortals vanish, reinvent themselves, and bury their pasts under a trail of forged documents and false deaths.

But eternity is not freedom. Implants are rejected, technology slips from their grasp, and every connection they make must someday be severed. Some search for an end to their endless lives. Others revel in it. All of them must decide whether immortality is worth the price.

➜ ┊: good shit for you to listen to .ᐟ ❀
