Pures live among us. Their lives span centuries to millennia, resilient and resistant to injury and disease. They can “skip” ahead through time, decades at a leap, continuing their lives when they revive.
A potent evil which could devastate humanity is accidentally resurrected. An ancient and evil Pure who was once King William the Bastard, conqueror of England, intends to unleash that horror on the world. It will not affect him, but it will ravage the lives of nearly everyone else on earth. Now known as a contemporary businessman, he has centuries of knowledge, wealth, and power to call on, and he intends to use it to kill any Pures in his path, as he wreaks havoc on Normals.
Some Pures view us “Normals” as less than them. Across the globe, from an oceanic recovery endeavor to an arid desert treasure hunt, a group of them struggle for their very lives, and for the future of humanity.
In the Orient, the son of a Warlord who lived hundreds of years ago opposes the plans of both groups of Pures. Nobody knows his intent or his full capabilities.
Some of the Pures involved in the conflict include Maximus, the best of the soldiers of Ancient Rome. The Apache war leader, Geronimo, historically reputed to be all but unkillable, expert with the bow and the blade, is still alive and living in New York. They team up with a woman whose more recent life was almost taken from her in the Salem Witch Trials, a Spaniard some 300 years old, a 900 year old English prince, and Gheret, a man whose beginning is buried in antiquity—the oldest sentient being on the planet. His own son, An’Kahar, by his Inuit wife long ago, works with him toward the survival of humanity.
Their origins can be found in the First Book of the Pure. This sequel continues the stories of those Pures, and may easily be read as a stand-alone novel. It brings them together and pits them against insurmountable odds. It shows long lives both bitter and sweet, and intricately tied to lives lived by us, the Normals of this world.
Share their adventures as they face enemies on every front, as they deal with the blessing and curse of their longevity, and as they clash in a no-holds-bared titanic struggle.
