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, 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 immortal life. The only man she's ever loved, and the one who haunts her still.

Now, after centuries apart, Quintus returns just as she has started to carve out a life of her own. As her past and present collide, Ling must answer the question that has chased her for eternity: for immortals like them, is forever a promise, or a curse?

The Secret Lives of Immortals is a genre-defying work of speculative fiction that will take you on a journey of infinite lifetimes.
