After the demise of his family he is destined to spend centuries traveling the earth. The cruel circumstances that leave him alone in the world also render him immortal. Struggling with internal turmoil he must find a way to go on . . . because anything is now possible.
Adventuring and death-defying developments unfold. There will be the Black Plague of Medieval Europe, the Spanish Inquisition, a boating mishap, Oxford University, the Dutch East India Company, the New World, the American Revolution and Civil War, spelunking, the Salem witch trials, a brush with the Papal Father, a bloody nose, blueberry scones and hot chocolate, a belvedere, an Irish pub, the Great War, and paella. But after a person has had their fill of worldly experiences, can the elusiveness of inner peace be tamed?
With so much grief and trauma behind him can Magglio Cervantes find meaning in this life?
