Throughout history, many cultures worshipped powerful beings they believed were gods.
But what if those beings never disappeared?
In the world of the Immortals, powerful immortals have existed for thousands of years. Some were revered as gods, feared as monsters, or remembered through myths and legends that survived long after the truth was forgotten.
Characters like Abaddon have lived through entire civilizations. They’ve witnessed empires rise and fall, watched technology transform the world, and adapted to countless cultural changes.
But surviving in the modern world requires more than power.
It requires flexibility.
Imagine going from being worshipped in a temple to navigating social media, smartphones, traffic jams, and online banking. Ancient strength and wisdom might help, but adapting to a constantly changing society would be its own challenge.
Kane faces a different struggle. As an immortal who has lived for thousands of years, he has watched the world evolve while searching for a connection that seemed increasingly out of reach. Longevity may provide experience, but it doesn’t protect someone from loneliness.
One of the themes I enjoy exploring in the Immortals Series is that even ancient beings still face very human problems. They love, grieve, make mistakes, and search for purpose just like the rest of us.
The world may change around them, but some struggles remain timeless.
Perhaps that’s why stories about gods and immortals continue to resonate today. No matter how powerful someone becomes, they’re still searching for where they belong.
