When a team of scientists unearth
scriptures older than the Dead Sea Scrolls in a cave in the Eastern Desert
mountains in Egypt, a mystery lost to the tides of time is uncovered. Heading
the expedition is Dimitri Reznak, the Head of the Crovir Immortal Culture &
History Section. But the monumental discovery is spoiled by evidence of looting
and half the priceless artifacts Reznak has been seeking for centuries have
disappeared.
Alexa King is a covert agent for the
Crovir First Council. When she is approached by her godfather for a mission

Assigned by Reznak to assist her is Zachary Jackson, a gifted human and Harvard

In their search for the missing

With the help of Reznak and a group of
unexpected allies, King and Jackson must stop the enemy and uncover the

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?
