Book description
She will never be one of them. When the immortality treatments failed,
she knew her destiny would not be as glorious and carefree as the
immortals. The immortals rebuilt the Earth after the great floods, but
she is not one of them, and she doesn't seem fit to live anywhere
amongst them.
When she finds refuge aboard the ship Ilium and begins ocean floor
navigation, an adventure immortals would envy, she discovers a secret
place. But she knows if she can unlock the power that the immortals lost
on an island buried far beneath the land, the world and the immortals'
future will never be the same again. Marta Randall is the author of
