Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:

When a routine hanging goes wrong and a murderer somehow survives the noose, the man announces he is an immortal. And not just any immortal, but Cayal, the Immortal Prince, hero of legend, thought to be only a fictional character. To most he is a figure out of the Tide Lord Tarot, the only record left on Amyrantha of the mythical beings whom fable tells created the race of half-human, half-animal Crasii, a race of slaves.

Arkady Desean is an expert on the legends of the Tide Lords so at the request of the King's Spymaster, she is sent to interrogate this would-be immortal, hoping to prove he is a spy, or at the very least, a madman.

Though she is set the task of proving Cayal a liar, Arkady finds herself believing him, against her own good sense. And as she begins to truly believe in the Tide Lords, her own web of lies begins to unravel...

- AWESOME...
Wow, I have always loved Jennifer Fallon, I have never been disappointed or put one of her books down before finishing it.

This book is so original and the concept is amazing, so... I am not going to elaborate on the story, you will need to read it for yourself. I only wish I didn't have to wait for the subsequent one...

I am somewhat of a budding writer and ideas have always been pretty easy for me, its all the stuff in between that gets lost in translation sometimes. For this reason I find the concept, idea, and all the stuff in between so great in this book. I am a pretty avid SCIFI person, have been all my life and the ideas in this book were completely new to me.
All I can say is BRAVO Ms. Fallon, I don't think anyone would be disappointed in this book, it would be impossible.

- Another great entry in the Fantasy genre
I am greatly pleased with Fallon's latest entry in the genre. She makes the characters come alive with snappy dialogue, intrigue and political ramifications that makes the reader anxiously await the subsequent installment. The only problem is how soon will the subsequent book be published! Great read.

- Utterly delightful!
Immortal prince
Otherworldly novels can be so deceptive. Filled with the creations of an authors imagination, the landscapes and character sets either work very well, or fall apart at times of conflict.
This is not so with "The Immortal Prince" by Jennifer Fallon. Book 1 of a new trilogy revolves around the efforts of one Kyle Lakesh, or Cayal, to end his immortality by taking the lives of 7 men in a local village. Knowing local law, he expects a beheading, and almost wishes for it. Unfortunately, the executioner is on compassionate leave (a family funeral), so a hangman is brought in to finish the job. Ahh, not so easy. The rope is taut, the panel drops, and Kyle hangs there, waiting for a death that will never come.
So begins "Immortal Prince", and the efforts of the Lady of Lebec, Dr Arkady Desean, to either prove he is insane, or truly immortal. Insane, he goes free. Immortal, then she is forced to believe the Tide Lord mythology she had long ago dismissed, and truly look at the Tarot that local practishoners use to entertain, and pass on legends. From there, only the Tide Lords know what the result might be.
Ms Fallon has created a marvelous backdrop for a stubborn academic like Arkady, who is not only struggling with Stellans' sexual deception, his lovers' advances, and growing curiousity and attraction to a man who just might be immortal. If we add to the mix, the Crasii, half human, half dog servants of the humans in the area, and a Kingly nephew, Mathu, who is not so thick and undisciplined as he seems, and this is one good stew.

Her writing style is uncluttered, and yet it conveys all that is required for readers mental projectors to click on, and engage. She has a marvelous sense of irony and humour that shines through in the dialogue.
Book 2 just can't appear on shelves quickly enough.

- so good i ordered the subsequent three from Australia
This one was great but the subsequent three are even better so much so the i spent the $50 to ship them from australia...why wait 4 years

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars

- Good start to a new series
I enjoyed both of Fallon's previous trilogies, and The Immortal Prince is an intriging start to another. What does an immortal who is tired of being immortal do to die? I like the tie of the magic with the pull of the tides and using the Tarot as a background for the story of the immortals. My only issue was the half-breed slaves who have both human and animal characteristics. I kept picturing Barf ... the half man, half dog (a mog) from the movie Spaceballs!

Overall an enjoyable read, and I will be looking forward to the subsequent part of the story.
