Upon that newborn world he placed his most beloved children, Humans. With their creation, however, he gave them free will and over time it became apparent that they had chosen the path of self-destruction.\u003cbr\u003eUnwilling to see his children vanish completely, the Fire Lord set aside some few who showed themselves wiser than their kith and kin. And as a warning to those Younger Races who would come after, the Fire Lord Doomed his few remaining children with immortality.\u003cbr\u003eThese are the tales of those few Humans who were transformed by their Doom into something else. A race of immortals who would watch, interfere, inspire, teach, and terrorize those who came after the Fall of Humanity. These are the sagas of the Wanderer and he who would come to be called Akikara the Mad, told as they came to know what it is to be immortal and how to live forever.\u003cbr\u003eWhere do immortals come from and where, following their Lord's curse, do they go as the world is repopulated by the Younger Races?\u003cbr\u003eWhat happens when an immortal's hermitage is disturbed by a young huntress being hunted by her prey? And how far will that immortal go when the descendants of that huntress are slaughtered by another of the Younger Races?\u003cbr\u003eWhat is Qaryesh t'Marne and how have the Younger Races made it their own world? And what roles will the immortal remnants of Humanity play in their history?\u003cbr\u003eThese are the The Wanderer and Akikara Sagas, the first volume of the Tales of Immortality!","brand":"Joseph Hildebrandt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069923082480,"sku":"2940016580098","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016580098_p0.jpg?v=1763638248","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016580098","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
