The lion’s share of this final volume is a slow boil, but while there’s more introspection than in previous volumes, Ringle provides a thoroughly satisfying thread-tying conclusion. Ancient memories from significant past lives are interlaced throughout the story, including the mystery of why the chrysomelia tree, whose fruit bestowed immortality, is dying. But this time, the Thanatos cultists have figured out a way into the Underworld itself, and they wield a magic that can be lethal even to immortals. Sophie and the other reincarnated immortals spend much of the book dealing with the repercussions of the attack and preparing for the next one. Now her home has been shattered, and her friends and family. Her would-be lover, Adrian, the reincarnation of Hades and the man responsible for reintroducing Sophie to the Underworld and her many lifetimes, is wracked with guilt over the carnage. Sophie Darrow said yes once to a young man offering a realm of Greek gods and immortality. Save up to 80 versus print by going digital with VitalSource.

Immortal's Spring 1st Edition is written by Molly Ringle and published by Central Avenue Publishing.
