| Mikael Giovanni was a man who has endured more than a century of pain at the lost of his family. Then one night, his life was changed forever. He wasn’t sure if forever was good or bad. He's had enemies to endure for most of his life and has never known true love. Until he met Allie. Then his life took off in a direction that even he hadn’t forseen.
What would you do if you could live forever? This story tells of Mikael and Allie, two people who met at a time in their lives when life wasn’t all that great. Mikael had been running from his life for more than a century, while Allie wondered how long her life would last. After knowing one another for just a short time, they realized that falling in love was not for them, but trying to be friends could work somewhat. But it was defeating the whole purpose. No one can see the future and the reason why is because many wouldn't put it to good use. But through learning about each other and uncovering secrets and hidden pain, Mikael and Allie will forge a bond strong enough to withstand the tests of time and the evil of men who would see them dead. Having to accept the choice Mikael made was the hardest thing Allie had to do, but the end result way better than she could ever hope for. A truly wonderful love story set in both the past and the present, teaching us that life has more than one path and that sometimes choosing the unknown can turn out to be better than we could ever hope for.
