Agyar

A paranormal novel of immortality—and its price—from the New York Times–bestselling author of the Dragaera series.

"Packs more of an emotional wallop than any verbose gore-fest served up by less imaginative talents." —San Francisco Chronicle

Born over a century ago, Agyar was once a frivolous young man, before he found unwanted immortality in a woman's blood-red lips. Now he goes from woman to woman, and decade to decade, finding himself at last in a Midwestern college town, where he must choose between the seductions of salvation—and of destruction.

"Compact, understated, and highly persuasive. Brust accomplishes with a wry turn of phrase or a small flourish what others never achieve despite hundreds of gory spatters." ―Kirkus Reviews

"A marvelous fantasy. . . . Brust is a master stylist who creates such intricate characters that plot is almost irrelevant." —Publishers Weekly
