Centuries ago, three men who were as
close as brothers found themselves damned to live their lives
as pleasure seekers. One night changed all their lives
including the friendship and bond they shared. They not only
were separated from humanity as they knew it, but from each
other.
Alrek does not enjoy the life he has and
realizes he has lost the person he was. He answers a call
from a beautiful woman, Charron, who is so overcome by the
loss of one of her loved ones she just wants to die. Alrek
knows that this is all he can give her, but there is something
different about her and the way she makes him feel. Charron
begins to realize that she may actually want to live and
surprisingly, Alrek leaves her with her life. The only
problem is he can never physically see her again for fear that
he will take her life.
Ulfr has lived his centuries in a cave
where he receives sacrifices to keep the nearby village safe.
The village decides to give Ulfr an exceptional gift in Roja.
He is drawn to Roja, but she is so young and he accepts her,
but does not want her until she is older. Ulfr cannot believe
the feelings this woman has inspired in him, but will he be
able to give her what she really wants and needs—her freedom?
Thorr was the only one of the three who
was able to maintain his hope and faith through the
centuries. Everything changes when the woman he thinks is his
salvation ends up not being what he expected. He becomes a
hopeless shell of himself and cannot imagine anything worth
continuing for. Then, Thorr saves Mia and everything
changes. Will she be his true salvation?
Immortal Curse is a great
read and shows that salvation often comes when we least expect
or want it. Alrek, Ulfr, and Thorr accepted their curse as
they felt they were partly responsible. They have spent the
years realizing they can never have the basic pleasures of
their human lives again. The women that were chosen for them
are strong, kind, and good and they have the strength and
desire to save their damned men. Immortal Curse
is definitely worth reading and Michele Bardsley knows how
to write!! |
