About the author

Mark Goman
Mark Goman was born in Kent, England, in 1986. He attended an all boys grammar school where, aged 12, his English teacher told him that his writing was 'good enough to be published.' Like most boys that age, he promptly ignored this potential and spent several years focused on girls, video games and music instead.

The compliment stuck with him though and finally, after several re-writes and a few crises of faith, he released The Deadly Price of Eternity, the first book in the Mortals and Magic series, in 2026.

He still lives in Kent, with his beautiful wife and too many children (and cats). For now, he has a successful career as a civil servant, and is optimistically (and likely fancifully) awaiting the day he is rich and famous enough to write full time.

Mark is influenced by the incredible fantasy authors he grew up reading, such as Joe Abercrombie, Scott Lynch, Trudi Canavan and Brent Weeks.

About the book

**This is a fantasy novel set in our world. It has fast-paced action, multi-POV storytelling, tons of magic, a female MC, some slow-burn romance and a sprinkle of spice. It contains scenes of graphic violence and death, but does NOT depict toxic relationships, infidelity, or sexual/emotional abuse**

Immortals are real, though only a few remain.

A thousand years ago, Zoe became one of the first. Ageless, powerful, and gifted with incredible magic that ebbed and flowed with her emotions; it was everything she’d ever dreamed of. But no one was ever meant to wield such power, and the price of eternity was far greater than any of them had expected.

They were once worshipped as Gods, but soon became twisted monsters, and their insatiable hunger ravaged the earth until, inevitably, they turned on one another. Centuries of war erupted, and the humans suffered for their avarice, leaving millions dead and the immortals nearly extinct.

Zoe endured, like always, but survival isn’t the same as living.

She has a plan that could change everything. It’s brutal, maybe even unforgivable, but who cares about redemption? She’s prepared to burn the world to get back what was stolen, and kill anyone that stands in her way, but the one thing she hasn’t anticipated is her own treacherous heart.

If you love fast-paced action and morally grey heroes, with slow-burn romance woven throughout, then this novel is for you!
