The First Book of the Pure takes people from history, whose stories are shrouded in antiquity and legend, and fills in the blanks, letting us know what else happened. A few of them are still alive, long after they should have died. Geronimo, an Apache from the Indian wars, recorded by history as unkillable, is still alive today, living as a detective in New York. A Duke of Normandy, later the conqueror of England, is a vicious, self-centered man with centuries of experience. One Pure woman lived through the witch trials of Salem.
The Pures come from many historical and cultural settings, and live through many others. They have known some of history's greatest and most colorful people, and some have been them. They’ve now reached an era close to our own time, and have begun to meet. Their struggles against each other are intense. They can most certainly die, but killing a Pure is not easy.
The story begins with one of the Pures telling their story to a captive Normal. Some Pures seem very human in their struggle with power and emotions, while others seem so preoccupied with their own ambitions and abilities that their consideration for Normals, short-lived folks like you, has withered to somewhere between slim and non-existent.
In this First Book of the Pure we meet those whose lives are measured in centuries, who have brought and will bring great change to the world. Some seem pure good, and others, pure evil.
