The Long-Lived

About this book

In the hours before dawn, the boundary between what happened and what was merely desired begins to dissolve. An unsent message, a shadow at the edge of memory, and a decision thought to be obsolete rise again to demand recognition. The Long-Lived follows intertwined identities and desires through a narrative of psychological suspense, asking whether people weave their own destinies or echo choices made by others. Safaa Hussein Al-Ajmawi turns the story into a mirror for the reader's own gray areas, where fear and longing coexist and the beginning one avoids may prove to be the last possible path toward release.
