The Only Immortals

Two immortal families. A love that crosses time. And a rivalry that threatens to undo it all.Madelena Caravita is a notorious sword-wielding thief, whose elaborate grand larcenies (and ill-tempered pet crow) are a constant menace to the wealthy and powerful.Hendrie Strachan is a talented musician and lonely dreamer, searching for the long-lost Alchemist―a legendary figure who made the immortal clans several centuries ago―so that he never has to be alone again.Both believe themselves to be the only immortals left in the world―until their paths collide on one of Madelena’s infamous jewel robberies.When Madelena learns that Hendrie’s clan possesses the Philosopher's Stone, capable of transmuting base metal into gold, she realizes this could be her final and most fruitful heist.But Hendrie’s mother soon learns of Madelena’s impossible immortality, and the cruel matriarch will stop at nothing to wipe the time-bending Caravitas from existence.As their clans descend into all-out war, Madelena must journey back into the distant past―to where the Alchemist lived, invented, and then violently vanished―to save the immortal man with whom she’s fallen in fiery, tender, and ultimately doomed love. But what she finds in the Dark Ages could destroy everything she thought she knew about Hendrie, about alchemy... and about time itself.#1 New York Times bestselling author Laura Steven delivers an epic standalone fantasy romance destined to captivate readers everywhere!
