Pale, bloodied, and wrong in ways the people fear. His sentence is immediate: exile or ritual death.

To survive, James turns knowledge into power, building defenses, easing scarcity, and navigating the savage politics of tribal life. But years pass, a plague sweeps the land and whispers spread. James does not age. Then a new power rises in the plague’s wake. One everyone else can pursue. James cannot. What kind of man survives forever after an entire world learns to fear his face?
