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. To most he is a figure out of the Tide Lord Tarot, the only record left on Amyrantha of the mythical beings whom fable tells created the race of half-human, half-animal Crasii, a race of slaves.

Arkady Desean is an expert on the legends of the Tide Lords so at the request of the King's Spymaster, she is sent to interrogate this would-be immortal, hoping to prove he is a spy, or at the very least, a madman.

I truly enjoyed this book. The character building was extremely well done: I particularly liked how *believable* the immortals were.

A suicidal immortal, a duke with secrets, a duchess with an education and a world where magic is a myth all add up to a story that pulls you in. Is the immortal prince really immortal or just a con artist using the Tide Lord Tarot to keep from being executed? Is the Duke's secret really a secret? Ca ...more
