Everlasting / Alyson Noel / 320 pages

Each immortal soul Ever has "sent to the shadowland has tainted and infected Summerland, creating its opposite, its shadow self...a place so dark, so dreary, and so contrary, magick and manifesting cannot exist."  Ever seeks to stop this transformation and to decode the cryptic message delivered by the "crazy old lady", Lotus, who knew Ever's name and all of Damen's names.  Of course, they still search for the antidote that will enable them to truly touch once more.  Traveling back to 1308, when Even was Adelina and Damen was Arlik, heir to the throne, a horrible mistake was made.  Is immortality of body worth mortality of soul?  Can Ever release the tortured souls of Shadowland?  Will she search for and find the Tree of Life? 

"Life is not meant to be an open book test."
"Every living thing, from plants to animals, to the very people who populate the planet, are all connected to each other.  We are all one.  When we harm one another, we also harm ourselves."
