Jessica Jacobs-Wolde worked hard to rebuild her life in Miami after the disappearance of her husband, David, & the death of her daughter Kira at his hand. Four years later, she is still coming to terms with a shocking truth: David, who is part of an ancient group of immortals--a hidden African clan that has survived for over a thousand years--gave Jessica & their second daughter, Fana, the gift of his healing blood. Now running an isolated clinic in Botswana that has earned a miraculous reputation for curing desperately ill children--Jessica hopes to find the tribe of souls with whom young Fana truly belongs. At three & a half years old, the girl's unsettling powers need to be tamed--& soon. Jessica journeys to Ethiopia in search of the Life Brothers & their strange & beautiful city carved in ancient stone. There, she will be reunited with her immortal beloved. There, the full force of Fana's powers will be revealed. And there, Jessica, David, & Fana will engage in an epic & trans-continental battle over the ultimate fate of humanity.
