Nastasya has spent the last century living as a spoiled, drugged-out party girl, numbing herself to forget the violent and fatal tragedy that robbed her of her birthright—and her entire family. She
feels nothing and truly cares for no one, until one night, when she witnesses her best friend, a Dark Immortal, torture a human. And her world is ripped apart. She flees her "friends" and seeks
refuge at a rehab for wayward immortals, where she meets a gorgeous, undeniably sexy immortal—can we say Viking god?—who seems inexplicably linked to her past. Nastasya finally begins to deal with
things, to actually care about life and feel safe. But when she discovers the Dark Immortals are after her, she suspects that danger may be closer than she ever imagined.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“This is both a fantasy about immortals and a contemporary story of an adolescent seeking to know herself…Intrigue, humor, pathos, and underlying wisdom combine to make a fascinating read.” —School Library Journal
“Tiernan gives Nastasya a strong, distinctive voice and wonderfully realized perspective on the joys and horrors of history…A satisfying arc.” —Publishers Weekly
“This series-starter has a few steamy scenes, but the romance hinted at in the book’s title is secondary to the story of a young woman taking stock of her choices and shaping her identity. With plenty of immortal teen angst and threats of lurking evil, this makes a strong choice for paranormal bibliographies.” —Booklist
