About this ebook

Wyldcliffe Abbey School for Young Ladies, housed in a Gothic mansion on the bleak northern moors, is elite, expensive, and unwelcoming. When Evie Johnson is torn away from her home by the sea to become the newest scholarship student, she is more isolated than she could have dreamed. Strict teachers, snobbish students, and the oppressive atmosphere of Wyldcliffe leave Evie drowning in loneliness.

Evie's only lifeline is Sebastian, a rebellious, mocking, dangerously attractive young man she meets by chance. As Evie's feelings for Sebastian grow with each secret meeting, she starts to fear that he is hiding something about his past. And she is haunted by glimpses of a strange, ghostly girl—a girl who is so eerily like Evie, she could be a sister. Evie is slowly drawn into a tangled web of past and present that she cannot control. And as the extraordinary, elemental forces of Wyldcliffe rise up like the mighty sea, Evie is faced with an astounding truth about Sebastian, and her own incredible fate.

Gillian Shields's electrifying tale will dazzle readers with suspense, mysticism, and romance.

Ratings and reviews

Immortal is an amazing book. Evie Johnson goes through many things of a normal teenage girl with a twist. I highly recommend this book for teenage girls. She comes to find herself through her families history. She creates strong bonds with girls from her school. Sebastian, her mysterious hottie is a perfect example of what every girl wants. I can honestly say that Stephanie Meyers should watch out because Immortal and Betrayal are the new thing.

I'm glad I own this book. Ever since the first time I've read it, I've felt a deep connection. I can't ever stop reading it once I start again.

Was really cute how Sebastian didn't wanted to hurt Evie the girl from the sea, couldn't stop reading it need to get the rest of the books dying to know what else happened.

About the author

Gillian Shields is the author of Immortal, Betrayal, and Eternal, the first books about the sisterhood of the Mystic Way, as well as many other books for young readers. She spent her childhood roaming over the Yorkshire moors and dreaming of the Brontë sisters. After studying in Cambridge, London, and Paris, she became a teacher. She has taught in a girls' boarding school and also in a drama school where it was rumored that the ghost of a young girl could be heard crying in the night. Gillian was inspired to write this series in celebration of the power of first love, the strength of female friendship, and the haunting mystery of the past.
