“Most men would need a century to justify one hour of their life.”
In a stone keep in Gath Moran, Hefthon sits and scribbles—histories, ramblings, songs. His immortal blood stirs in his ancient veins. He longs for risk, to hazard the life that comes so cheaply.
In Elisidor, in his fortress Ordúil, Belisari sits and combs black dye into his hair, plasters pale cream on wrinkling skin. His time dwindles. He dreads risk, to hazard his numbered seconds. He longs for lost immortality.
When an elven scholar named Ta’Hrada shakes off the dust of his libraries and leads elven Elisidor in rebellion, Salinor’s emperor calls on Aeschulin, the new master of Gath Odrenoch’s Guards, to put down the fledgling revolt. In turn, Aeschulin enlists the service of two very different men—his brother Hefthon and Belisari, an old and almost forgotten friend. *** Ageless: Part II is the third novel in the “Tales of Rehavan” series and a sequel to Ageless: Part I.
Justin Rose is a fantasy author from Superior, Wisconsin. He is primarily known for his multiple fantasy series "First Immortals," "Nations End," and "Myths of Rehavan."
The way Justin Rose writes is captivating from the beginning and you just want to keep reading and reading and not stop. It is both descriptive and has great world building (important for a fantasy) but also is interesting and has a mixture mystery and suspense throughout. There is never a moment that you aren't engaged (you can tell there's more to the story than we know). I was reading as fast as I could (especially toward the end), and, I was disappointed when it was over. I can't wait to read the next novel in this series. I received this novel through Story Origin and the opinions and thought are honest and my very own.
This brings the epic fantasy in a full circle, with deeds great, common, and base. Now the name of the title makes sense to me, and I’m left pondering what I might do in life given similar choices. I love how even the hero’s are not perfect, but have consequences for their choices!
