Zan: The Ultimate Heartbreaker

So what defines a heartbreaker? And is having a heartbreaker as a hero a good thing? I sure think so. After all, a hero who breaks your heart has to touch it in order to do any damage No one gets all hot and bothered over a character we are indifferent about, do they?

I knew from the second he popped into my head that Zan the immortal space pirate was going to be a heatbreaker. But more than that, his situation is actually heartbreaking.

You see, Zan never asked to be made immortal. His tyrant father, Xander, forced it on him because Xander wanted a companion to accompany him through his endless days. After growing up in a brutal society where men are forced to rape  and or kill each other to prove better their situations, Zan was already jaded, but immortality added a new quirk.

Every reward comes with a price and the cost of immortality is having one's DNA altered to contain memories of everyone wh has bathed in the waters of the Infinity Pool. Every cell now carries the memories, including the location of the magic pool and can be transferred the same way a virus spreads. From direct contact.

Like through sex.

And because the paranoid and merciless Xander can't have any old person acquiring the knowledge of his immortal life, he kills his lovers when he's done with them. And Zan's as well.

What would it be like to know that every time you shared your body with another person, you were putting their life on the line? That if anyone found out, your love would die, simply for loving you back. In a word, heartbreaking.

 So that's Zan's backstory. You can read more about him in No Mercy, now available from your favorite bookstore and online.
