Immortal: Second Edition
A healer and a dreamer journey through revolution and magic to save a peaceful future society.
This novel explores the intersection of personal desire and cosmic destiny through the eyes of Karla and Joseph. The narrative structure moves from intimate, dream-based visions in a utopian setting to a broader, dangerous quest across time. The author uses the concept of shape-shifting and demonic entities to examine themes of power and connection. The story does not rely on traditional horror tropes but instead focuses on the psychological impact of eternal life and magical obligation. Readers seeking straightforward action may find the emphasis on internal dreams and mystical journeys less engaging, while those who enjoy character-driven speculative fiction will appreciate the detailed exploration of Karla's immortal identity and Joseph's forced departure from his home.
The book is set in a futuristic society called Tundra, located in the year 13075. This setting provides a backdrop of absolute peace and social equality, contrasting sharply with the nightmarish revolutionary world the characters eventually enter. The narrative draws on supernatural traditions involving shape-shifters and demons to challenge the stability of this long-lasting utopia.
