And Then There Was Immortal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798289868879)

When the radiant goddess Laylah Celestina descends to the mortal realm, she never expects to lose her heart to a humble farmer. But upon meeting the kind-eyed Vernon Everhart, an inexplicable connection forms between the celestial deity and the rugged mortal man. As Laylah immerses herself in Vernon's world, teaching her about the simple beauties of mortal life, she finds her divine detachment slipping away.

Meanwhile, their deepening relationship draws the suspicion of both celestial and earthly powers. Whispers spread questioning Laylah's true nature and the impossibility of a love spanning the divide between their realms. Torn between duty and desire, Laylah makes the monumental decision to remain with Vernon, bestowing upon him the gift of immortality and binding their souls for all time.

The ambitious sun emperor Darius Solaris threatens cosmic imbalance with his obsessive solar energy projects. In the illusionist Celine Arcturus' mesmerizing shows, unrest brews beneath the surface. And the principled commander Armond Ironheart struggles between his sense of duty and morality amidst the looming threat of war.

Through it all, Laylah and Vernon rely on their combined wisdom and understanding of human nature to subtly guide events, while taking care not to overtly interfere in mortal affairs.
