When Arlo Rook finally leaves the safety of his childhood home at 100 years old, he's hoping for a quiet fresh start—but instead crashes directly into Thatch Phantom, a bored immortal running an elaborate city-wide scavenger hunt. What Arlo doesn't realize is that Thatch has been waiting centuries for him, recognizing the soulmark on his face from a lifetime of encounters Arlo doesn't remember. As Arlo unknowingly competes for a wish with no restrictions (except, conveniently, falling in love), he and Thatch tumble through hilarious mishaps and unexpected moments of connection that challenge everything the immortal thought he wanted. This is a heartwarming story about found family, second chances, and an endless being finally discovering what it means to truly belong to someone.
