Hope is a gift, for those fortunate enough to possess it, and a curse, for those foolish enough to believe in it without question. Arius's life has embodied both gift and curse for millennia. Being immortal, he can survive even the most horrific circumstances-but he has also witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations and the deaths of everyone he's ever known. When Arius is dragged into traveling with a division of Achaean soldiers, he vows not to get too attached. He never intended to get on a ship heading to Troy; he never wanted to become embroiled in a losing battle; and he certainly didn't anticipate falling in love. As tensions rise and allegiances shift, Arius finds himself in the center of it, leading him to wonder: Is it better to lead a lonely life without the threat of pain, or a full life awaiting the inevitability of grief? Thought-provoking, engaging, and poignant, Immortal will leave you contemplating the consequences of everlasting life and the relationships which are left in eternity's wake.
