It's exciting! The first book review, by Todd Rutherford, has arrived and we'd like to share it with you today!
H.R. Phillips’ The Immortal Lost: The Prime Immortals is the story of Dylan Black, essentially a social exile who is blessed with the innate ability to pull thoughts out of other people’s minds and translate them into a vision she can understand. Dylan can’t come to explain her powers until the Immortals walk into her life. The plot revolves around the forces of good, the Immortals and the Prime guardians, and evil, led by Abaddon.
When a strange man gives Dylan the vision of the murder of his business partner—causing Dylan tremendous pain—she decides that this gift from God must be concealed at every opportunity. In a nutshell, science creates the Immortals “a species of life that was stronger in both mind and body. Never would they suffer from disease or natural death.” These species of Immortals called themselves “Prime.” Beginning with Adam and Eve, all creation is flawed in some way, or the creation is influenced by those who sprout from the seeds of evil (e.g., the serpent in the Garden of Eden). The Prime are no different. The Favored, a brutal group of unjust rulers—and Prime species—began to enact atrocity after atrocity upon the people of the land, leading to war featuring humans, the creators of the Immortal Prime, and the Prime on one side (the good side) and the evil Favored on the other.
Brothers, created from the same crop, the Favored are the ultimate lost as they fall down the never-ending abyss of darkness, while the Prime continue to protect the Human race. The Lost Ones, offspring of the original twelve Immortals—including Dylan Black—are the Prime’s best hope to restore peace on earth and eradicate the destruction-loving favored once and for all. There’s just one problem. The Favored are hiding within the human ranks, making it impossible to know who to trust and who not to.
The Immortal Lost is an epic tale of good versus evil, family rivalries, and a quest to find the Chosen One who would restore peace among the races. The secrets of lineage and treachery will come out at the most unexpected of times, and thrill the reader to the utmost. The Immortal Lost is a must-read page-turner that will leave the reader saying one word “Encore.” H.R. Phillips’ encore is on its way in the form of the sequel Dark Days.
