From bestselling fantasy author Steven Brust comes this paranormal novel of immortality-and its price... Born over a century ago, Agyar was once a frivolous young man, before he found unwanted immortality in a woman's blood-red lips. Now he goes from woman to woman, and decade to decade, finding himself at last in a Midwestern college town, where he must choose between the seductions of salvation-and of destruction.
"Compact, understated, and highly persuasive...Brust accomplishes with a wry turn of phrase or a small flourish what others never achieve despite hundreds of gory spatters."
Kirkus Reviews
"Packs more of an emotional wallop than any verbose gore fest served up by less imaginative talents."
