Tom Hazard looks like an ordinary 41-year-old history teacher. In reality, he’s been alive for centuries.

He’s strummed a lute with Shakespeare, sailed with Captain Cook, and shared drinks with F. Scott Fitzgerald. But after centuries of running, all Tom wants is something simple: a normal life. Maybe even love.

Enter Camille, the French teacher who seems to see through him. She could be the answer to a loneliness that’s lasted lifetimes—except Tom belongs to the Albatross Society, a secret group that protects long-lifers like him. Their rule is clear: never fall in love.

As Tom’s past collides with the present, he must decide if he’ll keep hiding in history or risk everything for a future worth living.
