'The eternal desire for immortality is at the core of this epic series. It is the story of the Tide Lords, twenty-two men and women who, thousands of years ago, traded their humanity for immortality ... only to discover it is a double-edged sword. Some still relish their immortality, while others wish only to end it.

'Jaxyn and Diala have murdered Mathu and Diala is now ruling Gleaba. Stellan is in hiding and Arkady is a slave. Declan is still trying to find her, while juggling all the other problems he has to deal with as the Queen's spymaster.

'Meanwhile, Stellan has taken charge of the Scard Army and is starting to whip it into shape. Shilly Ponting introduces him to the rest of the Cabal of the Tarot and tells him of the Lore, and the information contained within.' (Publisher's blurb)
2 4 y separately published work icon The Immortal Prince Jennifer Fallon , Pymble : Voyager , 2007 Z1358535 2007 single work novel fantasy When a routine hanging goes wrong and a murderer somehow survives the noose, the man announces he is an immortal. And not just any immortal, but Cayal, the Immortal Prince, hero of legend, thought to be only a fictional character, a figure out of the Tide Lord Tarot, the only record left on Amyrantha of the mythical beings whom the part-animal, part-human Crasii believe created their race. Arkady Desean is an expert on the legends of the Crasii. At the request of her childhood friend, Declan Hawkes, the Kings Spymaster, she is sent interrogate this would be immortal, hoping to prove he is a spy, or at the very least, a madman. Set the task of proving Cayal a liar, Arkady's own web of lies, and that of her husband and the King's Spymaster will start to unravel. Nothing is really as it seems around Cayal, the Immortal Prince - the lies seem plausible, his stories improbable and truth more than any of them bargained for. (Publisher's blurb).
