The Things Eternity Took.

In the sweltering summer of 1923, Silas Laurent arrives in the small town of St. Augustine, Georgia with his beautiful, mysterious wife, Lenore, and a hunger buried deeper than blood.

To the townsfolk, they are wealthy outsiders restoring the old Baptiste house at the edge of town. But St. Augustine remembers things better left buried. Whispers of grave saints - dead souls cursed to walk eternally between life and damnation - have haunted the town for generations.

Josephine Baptiste has spent her whole life dismissing those stories as superstition.

Until she meets Silas.

Drawn to his sorrow as much as his beauty, Josephine finds herself entangled with a man who watches sunrises he can never touch and mourns a humanity stolen from him decades ago. But as their connection deepens, Lenore begins to realize the impossible:

Something inside her husband is changing.

And love may be undoing the curse that made him immortal.

But when an ancient vampire arrives in St. Augustine carrying secrets of his own, the fragile bond between love, hunger, and eternity begins to unravel. Because monsters do not surrender their own easily - and the dead are never the only things haunting Georgia's shadows.

A haunting Southern gothic tale of immortality, grief, obsession, and forbidden love, The Things Eternity Took asks one devastating question:

What happens when a creature cursed to live forever remembers what it means to feel alive?
