A novel of immortality---and its price
Born over a century ago, Agyar was once a frivolous young man, before he found unwanted immortality in a woman's blood-red lips. Now he goes from woman to woman, and decade to decade, finding himself at last in an Midwestern college town, where he must choose between the seductions of salvation--and of destruction.

Review:
Packs more of an emotional wallop than any verbose gore fest served up by less imaginative talents.
Compact, understated, and highly persuasive...Brust accomplishes with a wry turn of phrase or a small flourish what others never achieve despite hundreds of gory spatters.
