Story Behind The Book
I have always been fascinated by a good fantasy/fiction book. Many start out good but then end up disappointing me by becoming unbelievable. My thought of a good book is one that excites and stimulates the imagination. I want it to be exciting but more importantly believable. Everything needs to flow but also make good sense. Real Immortals is my first attempt at stretching the mind, making sense, and creating a fantasy world people can believe exists. Even for just a few hours or days.
Real Immortals is a story about Stephen James & Leah Mitchell, two young lovers who have been raised by angels since they were toddlers. Having been separated from their human parents shortly after birth each is adopted and raised by their immortal parents. Stephen’s origin is shrouded in mystery while Leah’s is a product of direct intervention after her parents are brutally murdered by a demonic half-breed.
Growing up in such close proximity to their incredibly powerful parents produces some inexplicable and astonishing side effects. At 8-years old, they start displaying gifts and abilities never seen before. They are both inducted into paladin training and soon a new breed of healer & warrior are born.
Meanwhile, Legion, the most dangerous demon immortal on the planet plots to gain an advantage over his nemesis the Archangel Michael. After years of disappointment, he is now dangerously close to finding a weapon capable of defeating Michael in open combat. His goal…to defeat Michael, destroy Seraphim and change his destiny as a Fallen.
