Description
The immortal Nelle Foster wakes up after a century spent underground. For the first time in her long life, Nelle has a chance at independence, but only if she can fit into this new world around her. When the flamboyant and egregiously successful Maurice Howler offers her a job as a step to that coveted independence, Nelle has a chance to save the world, or so everyone thinks.
George Harridan never thought he'd get to meet the secret immortal hidden beneath his crumbling manor, but he's quickly becoming Nelle's new best friend. Her sudden appearance might be his liberation too. If only he could get Maurice Howler's annoyingly perfect face out of his mind.
Nelle's new job unknowingly puts her on a collision course with her own past, the exact thing she's been trying to move on from. If she has any chance of facing it, she'll need to team up with both George and Maurice to find out what it is she'd stumbled into. Can she survive the wrench the universe has thrown into her plans by waking her to this world?
