    Summary

    Victor lives, and must go on. Doing so with his creation proves more difficult and complicated than he expects- especially when they barely know each other. But he has to start somewhere, and going back to Edinburgh seems as good a choice as any. Existing with his Creature is one thing, living with him is something else entirely...especially when one actually starts developing feelings.

    Summary

    Victor Frankenstein is thought to have died aboard the Horisont. Given a funeral at sea, he is set adrift, unknowingly still clinging to a sliver of life. When he wakes at last, he discovers that it is he who cannot die. Manipulated and abused by a cunning and powerful vampire named Tobias, Victor finally escapes his Maker's chains. Knowing just what Tobias wants him for, Victor goes on the run for decades.

    The creature known as Adam has spent his own eternity trying to carve out what happiness he can find. He has found and lost love, raised and buried children and yet still lives on when all else fades away. His love of the written word gave him his purpose and he moves through the decades, publishing under many different pseudonyms. In the forests and hills of the Pacific Northwest, he's made himself a home and is at peace.

    Until one night when a violent attack leaves him face to face with the man he thought he would never see again.
