About the Book

An immortal woman awakens after a century underground and teams up with an artistically-minded lord and a flamboyant immortal to uncover mysteries from her past in an alternate England.

Book Synopsis

Ripe with plot twists, mysteries within mysteries, and immortals in an alternate England, J.T. Adria's atmospheric debut novel is perfect for fans of Natasha Pulley.

The immortal Nelle Foster wakes up after a century spent underground. She finally has a chance at independence, but only if she can fit into this new world around her. When the flamboyant and egregiously successful Maurice Howler offers her a job, Nelle has a chance to save the world. Or so everyone thinks.

George Harridan never thought he'd get to meet the secret immortal hidden beneath his crumbling manor, but he's quickly becoming Nelle's new best friend. Her sudden appearance might be his liberation too. If only he could get Maurice Howler's annoyingly perfect face out of his mind.

Nelle's new job unknowingly puts her on a collision course with her own past, the exact thing she's been trying to move on from. If she has any chance of facing it, she'll need to team up with both George and Maurice to find out what it is she'd stumbled into. Can she find the right people to trust before her past lives come crashing down on her?
