The Elements Book One: Gilly

Mankind has always been fond of legends. Stories of terrible creatures, of daring rescues, of powerful magic. Alas, humans and their world of science have never been able to attain such power - or the one thing mankind most desires: immortality. After all, such things have no place in this world. If such creatures were to exist, they would surely be monsters.

Meet Gilly. She's what one might call a monster. A young teenager by appearance, she is actually a being that has existed for more than 700 years. As one of eight immortals holding the raw power of the world, she's also got her work cut out for her keeping up that streak. For humans, in all their greed, are not the only things searching for power.

As the illusion of science begins to dim, the side of the world that has been hidden for far too long begins to emerge once more. For all of their achievements, mankind is woefully unprepared for the horrors that await them. Gilly is one of the few standing between humanity and her own kind in the mounting conflict, setting both against her and the other seven. In order to save humanity, she must first save herself.
