title: The Eternals
author: Ankers, Richard M.
description: For Jean, eternity should have meant forever.
   Born to immortality, neither human nor vampire, the Eternals are close to extinction in the face of the dying sun. It is to this ultimatum that Jean, the last Eternal lord, is born. Jean accepts the end once preached by his deceased parents, where others won't, their arrogance furthering his melancholy. He would fight for the future, while the Hierarchy is ready to waltz into nothingness.
   But everything changes for Jean when he commits the cardinal sin: his bite takes the life of Princess Chantelle of The New Europa Alliance, whose sister will come to enthrall him. It is a deed Jean thinks has passed unnoticed; it has not.
   When the British lord, Sir Walter Merryweather, informs him of this, Jean runs. Aided and abetted by the irksome Merryweather, Jean stumbles from manipulated mishap into age-old conspiracies and beyond.
   With the sun's clock ticking, Jean must find time where there is none to reconcile his sordid past.
