The moment he knew he loved her, he knew his immortality was doomed.

            Adeline Barrett always felt like something was missing. Having just moved to an old fishing town off the coast, she longs for adventure. When she discovers a hidden world of ancient Greek and Roman God’s, she feels right at home. The Gods had lived for centuries undisturbed and cut off from the modern world – until a corrupt God begins to take over. When Hades is nowhere to be found, Adeline, with the help of Zale, set off to find him.

            The land of Secretus is dangerous and strange – but one thing remains a constant, the residents are immortal. When Zale begins to love Adeline, he has a strange feeling – that he is becoming mortal. How can he defeat his enemy with the fear of death lingering in his mind?

Excerpt:

It had been decided. I was part of this whether I liked it or not. I knew the only way to get home was to go along with what he said. I tried to playback how I ended up here in my mind, maybe I could find the answer to send me home.

Titan and I stood there on the beach, watching the waves roll up against the sand, the last rays of light were slipping over the horizon. I put my hand on his head. Then I began to feel dizzy, weak. My legs forgot their use and I fell to the ground. My whole body tingled, like it was numb, and then the world went dark.

I’m not sure how long I had been unconscious. When I sat up and saw a man standing by the water’s edge. He had a small boat and was grumbling over his fishing net, but when he saw me, he froze.

“How did you get here?” his voice was quiet.

“I should ask you the same thing. This stretch of the beach is my property, and there is a no fishing sign right over there. You are trespassing,” I folded my arms. It was not the friendliest approach, but this man had appeared out of nowhere. His sandy hair reflected the orange rays right before they disappeared, and for that moment I was transfixed. I swallowed as I waited for his reply, my knees were growing weak. At this time, I did not know it was I who appeared out of nowhere. ffffffffffff
