The world is broken. A great, unknown cataclysm has destroyed the modern world, leaving the remnants of humanity in a Second Dark Ages. With technology lost and the world once again ruled by bandits and thugs, small kingdoms and city-states are all that is left of civilization. The people living in these cities suffer from corruption, old prejudices, and the cold conditions in which they live. Witness to the rise and fall of human civilization are the Immortals, men and women gifted with life unending. They have watched from the shadows for thousands of years, taking care not to reveal their secret, lest they face persecution. All the while, the Immortals struggle with their own internal conflicts, bitter rivalries, and secret ambitions. Mica, a member of a small trio of Immortals, must enter a corrupt city-state in search for enemy who has trapped in the body of a child for thousands of years. The child holds an ancient artifact, which unrecovered could finally end Mica's long life. Standing in the trio's way are the lawmen of this valley town, a powerful demon under the child's control, and a mysterious woman, who holds strange powers of her own. Her actions will have a profound effect on Mica and his companions' quest, as well as on the fate of the humans struggling to survive in a harsh world. Almost all traces of our modern society have vanished, lost to age and the elements. Tales and legends have been handed down from the long ago future for over 2,500 years. Hiding in the midsts, are Immortals. Some are still looking for old enemies, others are trying to rule their own kingdoms, and one has just awoken from a centuries sleep. A small, mountain valley town becomes the convergence point where old and new grudges are played out. As the Immortal Wars rage on, will the survivors of both worlds manage to flourish? Or will the race of mortals come to their final end? Intended for mature readers: contains violence, language, and sexual situations.
About the Author: SL Figuhr has always had an abiding love for the written word since she was first taught to read. She takes the pieces of literature which spark her interest the most, and blends them together. She believes we make our own destinies, and fate is to be challenged. This desire is why she explores the infinite possibilities life, and after-life, in all its myriad forms, holds for us with her writings. The fantasy and paranormal genres allow her a wider range for the madness contained inside her mind. Our humanity is dying, not with a bang, but with a long slow, whimper of pain. She hopes you will choose to join her in adventures and quests along the way. And when the inevitable battles breaks out, for the safety and sanity of all party members, please don't stop and loot the bodies mid-fight. That's for afterwards.
