For as long as Claudia Bell could remember, she’d known that there was something very wrong with our world. There were too many inconsistencies – the facts just didn’t add up. As a young law graduate, she saw her new job at Cornelius Pharmaceuticals not just as an opportunity to develop her career, but also as a means to find the truth. Driven by a need to discover more about the shadowy, undying Immortelle and the truth about her own family, she crosses the Tasman and takes a step into the unknown. 

What she finds is not what she expected. Thrown into a world of danger and intrigue, she discovers that the very people she is trying to unmask have their own designs on her. The fact that she even knows about their existence puts her life in danger - but could she live with herself if she left the truth hidden forever? 

But then she meets Luke Cavenelli, the youngest member of the immortal Cabal. Although he’s almost a century old, Luke is kind, debonair, sensual and devastatingly handsome. When she pushes him hard enough, he breaks and gives her the information she craves… and much more.

The World of the Immortelle 

Earth seems like such a simple place in the modern age. Science has explained away the mysteries of the universe. There are no surprises. Most people laugh off the idea of secret societies and conspiracy theories as the work of fools and madmen. 

The problem is, the madmen are right. 

The world is secretly ruled a select group of violent and ruthless immortals that call themselves the Immortelle. These men and women were mortal once, until a mysterious elixir unlocked the greatest potential hidden within their own genetic codes. The exact nature of that power is determined by their own biological origins, but they are ancient, powerful and bow to no mortal. 

Absolute power corrupts absolutely, but in the world of the Immortelle nothing is ever as black or white as it seems.
