Tales of the Immortali is available for pre-order!

Across an endless sea of life, what is left to hold on to?

For centuries, twin immortali Fresca and Scherzo have roamed sunlit towns, painting murals, singing stories, and fleeing hunters who covet their gift . . . or condemn them as demons. But their lives of artful performances shatter when a sudden bullet strikes—and leaves one twin slowly turning mortal.

Adagio, the most ancient and jaded immortale, has one goal: to die. He agrees to help the twins summon the god of death to obtain their mortality. But he soon discovers tensions in their bond—Fresca’s virtuous faith clashing with Scherzo’s bloodstained beliefs. Meanwhile, a ruthless huntress, a legion of priests, and a cult of worshipers chase the immortali’s heels in the name of divine devotion.

As bonds break and secrets unravel, each immortale must confront the painful ghosts of their past before their hunters catch up to them, and death knocks on their door.

Set in a lush Renaissance Italy-inspired world, M.M. Orozco’s darkly whimsical YA fantasy debut explores art, identity, and memory in the corruption of time.
