David remembers Earth before the great Exodus, before the fleet carried humanity to the stars. Nearly two millennia have passed since the accident that made him immortal, spawning the Life Extension Project that granted eternal life to a chosen few. The L.E.P gave its subjects strength and youth, but only those deemed vital to human survival received this gift. The masses still age and die while immortals like David have become outcasts in a galaxy where their existence is now considered sinful. David travels quietly between worlds, learning and helping where he can while avoiding the church's watchful eyes. When a hopeful young woman boards his ship, her arrival threatens to upend everything. Her presence will reshape the future in ways David cannot foresee.
