More Description

Marshall is the second book in the Ideas in Blood Series. The series begins just after the Age of Reason and at the beginning of the nineteenth century.

For the antagonist of the series, walking alongside human history, killing, and defrauding has become unbearably mundane and as routine as the sunrise. He is resolute in his belief that he has been cursed to be an immortal parasite and that there is nothing new under the sun. Consequently, he has existed for millennia without any hope of ending his parasitic existence.

However, a chance encounter reveals that there is something new under the sun and it produces a protagonist who's cursed with the same immortality and all its horrific requirements.

Taking separate paths, the protagonist seeks a meaningful purpose in his new existence while the antagonist searches, with renewed hope, for a way to end his old existence. The series continues through the centuries as they hide in plain sight in a world where each technological advancement has the potential of exposing their identities as immortal killers.

Eventually, they meet again in a battle to stop the other from implementing their conflicting plans for the future of humanity.

Book two starts in America's north with an awakening and the fundamental question of being human.

As the story moves closer and closer to America's Civil War, new supernatural powers and a desire to control an undeniable thirst for human blood bring about a search for meaning and purpose.

Meanwhile, in America's south, an immortal killer operates with impunity, as southern slave owners blame the disappearances of their slaves on abolitionists. Book two ends with all eyes of Bleeding Kansas and Captain John Brown headed to Harpers Ferry.
