My name is Vivienne LaTorche and I was born in the year 1,212, almost 800 years ago in medieval France. Power – Immortality – That is the only kind of life I have ever known. I grew up feeling that I was meant for something more than becoming the wife of a nobleman. Born mortal, I have seen and encountered countless people, influencing me in many ways in my many lifetimes. No two influenced me more than André and Vincent; both in very different ways. Both men I love with my whole heart and both men changed my life – my fate – in more ways than I can count. Magic I learned from André – Love I learned from Vincent. But it was magic that kept me bound to Vincent and it was magic that took both away from me – the magic of the Emerald pendent he gave me that gave me more power than I ever dreamed possible. I have so many questions for both of them that I don’t know how or where to start. Especially now when there are gods coming into my life and telling me about André, telling me about my fate as if they knew how I grew up or knew how I became immortal. I know that there is something special within me; something that André says is more powerful than Fate herself. What if I am? I just never knew that the power inside an emerald pendant or the magic inside a small vile of blue liquid could have changed my life forever.
