Now, after the disastrous ending to House Immortal, they’re on the run along with Matilda’s farm hand Neds and one of the galvanized, Abraham, who’s incapacitated from injuries sustained while escaping a crazed megalomaniac’s plans for world domination. In this second installment of Devon Monk’s House Immortal series, Matilda’s reunited with her brother Quentin, who’s spent the last three years working for various Houses in a quest to find the formula at the heart of the Wings of Mercury experiment. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. But time itself is her enemy, and every second brings her one step closer to disaster.Purchase at IndieBound | Amazon | The Book Depository | Barnes & Nobleĭisclosure: I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. Because this time, it will destroy her and everything she holds dear.Ĭaught in a cat-and-mouse game of lies, betrayal, and unseen foes, Matilda must fight to save the world from utter destruction.
On the run, she must find a way to stop the repeat of the ancient time experiment that gifted her and the other galvanized with immortality. Matilda’s fight to protect the people she loves triggered a chaotic war between the Houses and shattered the world’s peace. And normal people don’t know that they’re going to die in a few days. Normal people’s bodies don’t hold the secret to immortality - something the powerful Houses will kill to possess. Normal people aren’t stitched together, inhumanly strong, and ageless, as she and the other galvanized are. Published by Penguin Books on March 3rd 2015
