Overview
An exquisite tale of sorcery and power, and a centuries-spanning love story between a poet from the Imperial Chinese palace and the Roman mercenary who tricks her into eternal life, from a remarkable new voice in fantasy, debut author Ash Huang.
He Ling is many things—storyteller, poet, con woman. She’s also lived for a very long time.
From the courts of Imperial China to the bloody gladiatorial pits of Rome, from druidic London to frontier America—she’s seen and experienced it all.
She’s witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations; embarked on great adventures; mourned the fleeting lives of her friends. Still, she can't help but remember the one who came before all else: Quintus, the Roman mercenary who tricked her into this eternal life in the first place. The first man she ever loved, and the one who haunts her still.
For immortals like them, forever is both a promise and a curse. As Ling starts to carve out a life she can finally call her own in the new millennium, she’s about to find out which is true.
Equal parts lush historical fantasy and a keen exploration of modernity, The Secret Lives of Immortals is a genre-defying work of speculative fiction that will take you on a journey of infinite lifetimes.
