Life is good. Immortal by pure mischance, Nico has lived a carefree life for hundreds of years. Among his many abilities, he can vanish across countries in a single breath.
On a Greek island, above limestone cliffs with Ithaca shimmering on the horizon, life is gloriously, stubbornly itself. There is laughter on the terrace, philosophical discussion, a household that has grown into family. Nico is certain these are the best years of his long life.
Elly is mortal. Nico has buried everyone he has ever loved. He will not bury Elly.
His experiments to make her immortal push into dangerous territory. Someone died. He stepped back, unwilling to pay that price.
But Elly has felt Nico's immortal power surge through her body. She wanted to roar with primal glory. She still does. What began as longing has become obsession, and that obsession now frightens her.
Their story leads them from the decaying streets of Nicopolis to the glittering elite of Rome and then to a discovery that reshaped their understanding of existence. In this final volume, the boundaries between mortal and eternal, between flesh and spirit, are redefined. An epic conclusion to a love story that spans lifetimes.
There is warmth, comedy and terror in equal measure, and sometimes, without warning, in the same breath.
Eternal is the third book in the Vanishing Age trilogy, three complete novels totalling over 360,000 words, where the ancient and the impossible meet romance, fantasy and the good life. Books One and Two, Awakening and Odyssey, complete the story.
