Book Description:
A half breed immortal. An international manhunt. A race against time to
stop a terrifying plot that threatens to kill millions. The gripping,
action-packed debut novel by AD Starrling and the first in the supernatural
thriller series Seventeen.
‘My name is Lucas Soul.
Today, I died again.
This is my fifteenth death in
the last four hundred and fifty years.’
The Crovirs and the Bastians. Two races of immortals who have lived side
by side with humans for millennia and been engaged in a bloody war since the
very dawn of their existence. With the capacity to survive up to sixteen
deaths, it was not until the late fourteenth century that they reached an
uneasy truce, following a deadly plague that wiped out more than half of their
numbers and made the majority of survivors infertile.
Soul is an outcast of both immortal societies. Born of a Bastian mother
and a Crovir father, a half breed whose very existence is abhorred by the two
races, he spends the first three hundred and fifty years of his life being
chased and killed by the Hunters.
One fall night in Boston, the Hunt starts again, resulting in Soul’s
fifteenth death and triggering a chain of events that sends him on the run with
Reid Hasley, a former US Marine and his human business partner of ten years.
When a lead takes them to Washington DC and a biotechnology company with
affiliations to the Crovirs, they cross the Atlantic to Europe, on the trail of
a French scientist whose research seems intrinsically linked to the reason why
the Hunters are after Soul again.
From Paris to Prague, their search for answers will lead them deep into
the immortal societies and bring them face to face with someone from Soul’s
past. Shocking secrets are uncovered and fresh allies come to the fore as they
attempt to put a stop to a new and terrifying threat to both immortals and
humans.
Time is running out for Soul. Can he get to the truth before his
seventeenth death, protect the ones he loves and prevent another immortal war?

Holy cow, I love this cover! It's dark, mystical yet the orange brings a warmth.
ReplyDeleteOoohhhh! I'm so glad you like it babe! ;) It wasn't what I originally had in mind, but Glendon from Streetlight Graphics always comes up with something better than I anticipated! We had fun doing this one! Already have an idea what I want on Book 3's cover :D
