Sempiternus

Kale Eastman has a secret. The biggest secret ever.On the surface, Kale Eastman looks ordinary, average, the kind of guy whom you wouldn’t give a second glance to if you didn’t already know him. But, Kale is the most extraordinary human that has ever lived. Because of how long he has lived.You see, Kale is old. Twenty-three thousand years old. Through nothing less than supernatural intervention, Kale Eastman, born a Cro-Magnon during the last Ice Age, has lived the equivalent of hundreds of normal lifetimes. He doesn’t age. He is immune to all diseases and illnesses that have plagued humanity since time immemorial. And he cannot be permanently injured, no matter how grievous the wound. Kale Eastman is virtually immortal – and his immortality has become more curse than blessing.Kale is tired. Tired of hiding his true nature, tired of the nightmares of the past that plague his dreams with greater frequency, and, most of all, tired of living his unique existence alone. That is, until fate (with a little assistance) intervenes once more and presents Kale with an opportunity for him to finally be able to share his amazing life with one special woman, Penelope Matthews.From prehistoric Europe, to the Ziggurats of Ur, the Pyramids of Egypt, and the mysteries of Salisbury Plain, follow Kale Eastman’s journey through history as he struggles to keep his true nature hidden, while seeking his elusive soulmate to share his journey with. Artisan, hunter, warrior, and mystic, Kale Eastman’s perilous travels take him from the shadow of Vesuvius, through plague-ravaged Marseilles, across the Atlantic to the settlements of Vinland, and to war-torn Sicily – always seeking, and never finding, the peace that he so desperately desires. For Kale must not only fight to keep his secret, he must fight those that, by chance, discover that secret – and who convince themselves that he possesses the key to immortality.
