Book excerpt: Time stands above all. Humanity forgets. History, no matter how important, fades away. In its midst two souls are waiting - one who cannot die, and one who cannot stay. Their meetings are brief, their journeys long inbetween, and soon they realise that there might be no way out of a deathless existence. In the centuries of their harship, guided merely by their belief in one another, only one question remains: What is the prize to killing an immortal?
