Tev Chrisini is a soldier who can't die, caught
in the middle of a war that won't end. Unable to discover the cause of
his unique and puzzling condition, Tev has spent the last five hundred
years living in the shadows, trying to avoid the notice of the two rival
powers that dominate the bitterly divided political landscape, which
would do anything for the slightest advantage.
After a crushing
defeat and an unexpected truce with their age-old enemy, Tev and his
friend Lerien, an intelligence agent with a grim past, are sent on a
seemingly simple mission with a delegation of peace.
Their
errand takes a turn for the worse when Cerawen, a calculating young
woman with her own agenda traveling under their protection, flees their
care with a wanted murderer.
Her defection sets them on an
increasingly perilous path into strange and unfriendly lands, on a race
against dark forces, to find a weapon capable of unparalleled
destruction that could bring about the end of the war and unlock the
secrets of Tev's identity - and the keys to his future.
