Cain Hawkins is an Exterminator, a member of the country’s new authority, specially trained to hunt down and exterminate the remaining Immortals. He has never doubted his purpose in the world. However, when a skirmish with an Immortal on the street leaves him questioning every last bit of himself, he will either have to stand with his president and failing country, or run from everything he was conditioned for. Besides, Cain has a secret: He is an Immortal, too.
Cain and Scarlett’s first encounter is far from their last, as an opportunity arises for the two to (unwillingly) work together. Already, they are entangled in a complicated dynamic, marked by hostility, banter, and a mutual understanding Cain would rather die than acknowledge. Whether he sees it or not, their partnership sparks hope for a future where Immortals are not persecuted—and the question remains: How long until a single spark ignites a revolution?
Neverdying is a compelling, relevant, and irresistibly romantic novel by 14-year-old author Shanti Hershenson.
