A reissue of a classic science fiction novel by SF Writers of America grandmaster Jack Vance.
Garven Waylock had waited seven years for the scandal surrounding his former immortal self to be forgotten. He had kept his identity concealed so that he could once again join the ranks of those who lived forever. He had been exceedingly careful about hiding his past.
Then he met The Jacynth. She was a beautiful 19-year-old, and Garven wanted her. But he recognised that a wisdom far beyond her years marked her as one who knew too much about him to live. As far as she was concerned, death was a mere inconvenience. But once The Jacynth came back, Garven Waylock's life would be an everlasting hell!
