Année 2279. La planète s’apprête à traverser une crise sociale et environnementale sans précédent. Les inégalités de classes entre les Éternels et les Éphémères atteignent leur paroxysme. L’ère de l’immortalité touche à sa fin, embarquant les populations dans un tourbillon d’interrogations, et les dirigeants dans des stratagèmes où l’éthique n’a pas sa place. Deux personnages occuperont un rôle crucial à l’aube de ce nouveau pan de l’Histoire. D’un côté Harold, usé par ses relations familiales et des capacités qui le dépassent, de l’autre Jeanne, frustrée par son extraordinaire absence de facultés. Au coeur de la forêt primaire, aux côtés de la dernière tribu libre du monde, tous deux s’appuieront sur la Nature et le Vivant pour trouver des réponses à leur quête de sens. Un roman d’aventure qui rend hommage à tous les opprimés, ces Silencieux qui n’en pensent pas moins. Cette histoire se déroule chronologiquement après « Les Éphémères sont éternels ». Pour autant, les deux livres peuvent se lire indépendamment et dans l’ordre qui vous plaira.

Três meses depois que meu marido, Josiah Erikson, desapareceu em um acidente de esqui, eu o vejo em um bar. Ele está rindo despreocupadamente, com o braço jogado de forma casual sobre os ombros da sua "melhor amiga", Monica Jones. — Ainda bem que você teve a ideia. Eu já estava quase esquecendo como é a sensação de liberdade. Um por um, os amigos brindam com ele e perguntam quando pretende reaparecer. Ele abaixa o olhar, finge pensar por um momento e então responde: — Daqui a uma semana. Vou aparecer quando ela já tiver enlouquecido completamente me procurando. Escondida nas sombras, observo enquanto ele saboreia sua "liberdade"... E então ligo para minha amiga que trabalha no departamento estadual de registros civis.

On the very first day Jason and I made our relationship official, he insisted on handing over his salary for me to manage. He said marriage was only a matter of time and that he trusted his future wife to keep the money safe. On the day of our engagement, Jason demanded that I hand over the $960,000 in salary I had “kept” for him over the past four years. “Each month, I gave you $20,000. In four years, that’s $960,000. After expenses, there should be at least $800,000 left, right? I can’t bear to make my parents empty their savings for my marriage. We will use my savings for the wedding, $600,000 as the down payment for the new apartment, and the remaining $200,000 will be my wedding gift to you.” I froze. “But there isn’t a single dollar left!” Jason exploded. “You wasteful woman! You spent all the money?!” His mother also erupted. “So much money, and you squandered it all! What shameful acts have you been up to?! This marriage is off!” Jason demanded to see the accounts. I immediately pulled out the records in front of everyone. Seeing this, Jason’s mother panicked.

Ela tinha abandonado uma carreira promissora para entrar em uma família rica, mas após trinta anos ela continuava sendo uma anônima, sem posição, sem sequer a coragem de confrontar a amante. Após chorar uma noite inteira, minha mãe me olhou exausta. — Foi ele quem me traiu primeiro. Então, eu também não o quero mais. — Ela disse. — Lili, você vem comigo?
