Vol 1. The Havanna’s Anti_Budha: A silent war has been waged for centuries. On one side, the immortals, and on the other, the heirs of a medieval order. But is immortality real or a terrible metaphor for a group that has secretly subjugated humanity for centuries? Amidst the war are our central characters: Tristan, the intentionally inefficient hitman of the immortals, and Venus’ Garden, an immortal who intends to live a love story with a normal guy. But this board has more than just black and white spaces. The pieces don’t always move according to the rules, and a single pawn can change the course of the entire game. A triangle of love, betrayals, and revenge unfolds in the streets of Havana, Amsterdam, São Paulo, and Paris, showing that, in the Never Die Club, living forever can be a heavy burden to bear.
Vol. 2 – The Judas’ Games: The immortal Venus was betrayed, captured, and tortured, but the cycle of twists and turns at the Never Die Club is just beginning. Now accompanied by her former tormentor, Tristan, she must embark on a road trip between Andorra and Morocco, confronting not only her current enemies but also the shadows of her past.
