Cursed with eternal youth on a bloody 1921 battlefield, warlord Sampson survives into the modern era frozen at thirty-two. For over a century, he watches friends, comrades, and empires crumble into dust, withdrawing into isolated wealth as an untouchable antique collector who feels nothing for the bustling contemporary world.
His centuries-long solitude shatters when Aria Harris, an energetic and headstrong young woman, barges into his gallery and sees straight through his stoic defenses. As ancient enemies resurface to steal the supernatural secret behind his longevity, Sampson discovers that trading eternity for a fleeting mortal lifetime is the only victory that matters.
