The Story

Former mortal Cass never asked to be a demigod, technically, they didn’t even ask to be alive. A century after their twin sibling Pollux unknowingly sacrificed half his eternity to bring them back from the dead, Cass’s is a less-than-part-time pop singer whose powers are on the fritz and they’re facing a future without the only person who’s ever understood them.

Then, out of nowhere, a struggling author from Earth crashes into their life, dropped into their path by a future version of Cass with an ominous warning: their brother Pollux has gone full cosmic menace in order to reclaim the immortality he lost saving Cass’s life, and now, obsessed with death, he’s gunning for them all.

Cass has to take responsibility and rally an unlikely team to stop Pollux before he turns his existential crisis into an extinction event. But, taking responsibility might mean Cass has to become something unrecognizable and risk losing the love that keeps them human.
