The Ancients: Ten immortal beings destined to rule, war and fall, only to live again. Black is one of them, awakening on an old, shattered world to a friend who dies to save her. But death is not the end. He’s out there, somewhere, and she’s going to find him. If she can survive before she forgets. But others hunt them both. Others who want to control their power for an edge in the endless war. Who manipulate reality itself, and succumb to the self-inflicted curses of their kind.  Between them lie the remnants of hundreds of civilisations reaching down to the planet’s core. For the Ancients have forgotten where they started, and dark revelations await them all.
