    Summary

    "Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged."

    Alfred Kirkland, in blissfully ignorant moments, forgot that he had a father. He's grown accustomed to living alone--as much as he hates it--and he's used to the guilt that gnaws at his soul for the growing resentment he feels towards the man. All of that changes one day in 1764 when Arthur Kirkland reappears after a six-year-long absence.

    Summary

    Matthew loved the stars.

    They had always been there, and they always would. They had seen him thrive in his highest points and fall slowly, agonizingly, to his lowest. Empires had risen and fallen as the stars stood silently over them like sentinels in the night, immortal in the depths of mankind's imagination. They were the keepers of long-forgotten secrets, of stories scarcely told.

    Matthew loved the stars because they were like him.

    Or:

    Matthew's been alive for more than a thousand years. He's seen far too much, died far too often, and yet he's still there.
