PROLOGUE
Murdo and Ingrid
Twenty years before.
Murdo winced in pain. Blood spilled from his wrist as struggled to free himself from the chain locked in his arms and feet. But he can’t move an inch. It was useless. They secured a no-escape capture. He gritted his teeth to stay awake—whipped by a thick branch of a tree, his legs were jelly. But he forced to support him and stand straight. He looked into the eyes of the people who betrayed him. The Chief of the Aplon tribe cannot love a Samardian. The Shaman forbids their union. But he can never dictate his heart. He loves Ingrid and his love remains no matter what. And the child in her womb—the most precious gift he never imagined he can have. He doesn’t care if it will cost his life, but Ingrid will deliver his child. And she will raise and nurture him. He would make it in this world. His mother will teach him the right values of being a good leader. The tribe will lament the day of his birth. She must hide him and take him to another place where there’s no judgment, no pain.
“My Ingrid, how can the world be so cruel to us and to our love?” He whispered, looking straight to where she stood—hands bounded, writhing in pain.
Eagle-eyed Chief—his people called him by that name. At that moment, his ability was being taken away from him by the works of the Shamans. But his vision was clear enough to trace the tears that run through her cheeks. It pierced his heart. His whole world shattered seeing her that way—hands bounded, resting them on her growing belly to protect their child. But he must not submit himself to total defeat—some intervention can summon hope. She will make it and his son. He will have to make it happen. And he left his faith to Wendaka, his most trusted friend—they grew up together in the village. She promised him their escape. He believed her words. There’s nothing he can do but to wait. And Wendaka will fulfill that promise—he hoped she won’t fail him.

From The Embers by Spring Horton
Follow the lives of two immortals, Dorian Thorne and Mathias Sorensen, from their early years, to the apocalypse and beyond. These two men first cross paths in Victorian London, an encounter which does not leave them on friendly terms. They are fated to meet again though, in the present, the year 2095. From the Embers is not only a story of civilization trying to rebuild after the end of the world, but also one of two men trying to rebuild their wounded and shattered souls out of the ashes of their pasts. It is a voyage of self discovery that takes three hundred years and along the way they find that their lives may not have been by chance. There is a plan behind their immortality and it may be one of sinister design.
Mathias Sorensen was born in 1776, near Copenhagen, Denmark. The son of a fisherman, he’d always dreamed of being a painter, but that dream was not meant to be. Instead, his life spirals downhill when, at age nineteen, he meets a man named Gunnar Pederson. Gunnar takes him in, but his cruel appetites destroy Mathias’ life. He eventually flees, but a broken shell of the man he was, whose only recourse is to rebuild himself in the image of his tormentor.
Dorian Thorne was born, thirty-six years later, in the East End of London, England. Caught up in the cholera outbreak of 1832, he learns of his immortality early in life, but at an awful price. Cursed to walk the earth for over a century, unable to remember his early years, he eventually learns that he suppressed these memories because they were too painful. Shunned and forced from the only person he cared about, the experience would scar his ability to let anyone get close to him for the rest of his life.
The two men meet, for the first time, in London in 1862, but part three years later after a volatile and unhealthy relationship. It will be over two hundred years before they see each other again, both having found love and loss, been involved in some shady and less than legal situations, witnessed the end of the world, and tried and failed to gain peace and understanding of themselves. In the end, they begin to realize that their lives are somehow, inexplicably, entwined and they find the keys that may just lead to the ultimate explanation of who they are and how they can begin to heal.
