In the city that survived the Fall, a powder keg is about to ignite...
After surviving the Battle of Three Rivers, between the hopelessly outnumbered Lyudi forces and the Libernian army, August escorts his prisoner, Captain Cymballa, along with his dog, Hubert, and adopted cave bear cub, Oliver, back to the city that made his parents into assassins and then sent its best soldiers to kill him.
Meanwhile, Trilly is forced to restart life among her new tribe, learning the strange Lyudi customs firsthand. Little does she know that an internal power struggle is about to place her life and her friends in mortal danger, forcing her into a decision between her blood and her adopted family.
In Libernia, August enters a seething den of humanity, political machinations, and strange technology, where elites and Imperators live in two, towering levels above the poor, all enclosed by a gigantic glass dome to keep out the hostile, post-apocalyptic desert air. Even farther below, in the Depths, reside the enslaved Tal population, who have been enflamed into open rebellion since the recent arrival of a mysterious stranger…
While August desperately searches for information on his parents, a cold war is being waged between Libernian’s president and the centuries-old Imperators, who have shut themselves away from the public eye. August is thrust into the middle of this murderous fray, all while discovering shocking revelations about his past and making necessary alliances with the city’s enigmatic denizens.
With all sides seeking his downfall, he must find a way through this tangled web, so different from the calm hunter-gatherer life he’d known, or succumb to a reawakening ancient evil, which, if left unchecked, threatens to envelop him and all that’s left of the known world in utter darkness.
The Immortal City is a science fiction adventure blending myth and the future, featuring a unique post-apocalyptic world, deeply human characters, and an epic sweep.
The third and final chapter of the saga coming soon!
