Description
Marisol Colón, a young and formidable lich captain, arrives in London with an extraordinary cargo-a pair of sarcophagi believed to be the parents of the fabled "Immortal Princess." The legends are shrouded in mystery, but Marisol feels an unsettling connection to them. The ancient princess, Neitha, once a proud Egyptian royal, had defied death itself, earning immortality through a sacrifice born from love and duty to her ill mother. Now, Neitha is unearthed, a relic of the past brought back to life, but her centuries-long slumber is far from forgotten. Alois Trancy, the charming yet sinister heir to Trancy Manor, takes a particular interest in Neitha-seeing her as a prize, a plaything to be displayed by his side. Though the two share a tense, reluctant bond, Neitha remains defiant, resisting Alois's attempts to control her, though she knows he will never let her go. As secrets unravel, old bonds resurface, and the gods watch from afar, the line between servitude and freedom grows ever thinner. Will Neitha remain a pawn in Alois's dangerous game, or will she find a way to reclaim her power and rewrite her fate?
