An Ancient’s Heart: Dragon Lords of Valdier (Story Bible eBook)
An immortal convinced he understands humanity. A woman determined to live life on her own terms. And a heart about to discover how wrong it can be…
Step behind the story of Xerxes and the human woman who challenges everything he believes.
Xerxes has witnessed the birth of stars and the rise and fall of civilizations.
He believes mortals are predictable. Offer them power and immortality, and their greed will reveal itself.
Earth should be an easy place to prove his point.
Then he meets Vicki Andrews.
Raised around the alien visitors to the Wyoming ranch her parents manage, Vicki has little patience for an arrogant immortal. She has responsibilities, plans, and opinions of her own—and no intention of surrendering them because a powerful being expects her to be impressed.
The An Ancient’s Heart Comprehensive Story Bible invites you to revisit their collision of cosmic power and Wyoming practicality.
Take a closer look at Xerxes, Vicki, and the family and friends surrounding them. Explore the beliefs that shape his challenge, the boundaries she refuses to abandon, and the connections between mortal lives and the Ancients watching over them.
Return to the encounters that test his patience.
Revisit the choices that challenge his certainty.
And follow an immortal’s discovery that understanding love requires far more than observing it from the stars.
He came to expose humanity’s weaknesses.
She gave him reasons to question his own.
Because even a being as old as the universe can have something left to learn about the heart.
