Could you handle living forever, knowing you would watch your friends grow old and die?<br><br>Marco Sartori d’Argenzio and his partner Danilo Rosati have created a family and settled in the Duchy of Aragoni, but they still face the challenge of Marco’s family’s legacy: Marco may live forever, but Dani will not; unless the secret of Marco’s unique DNA is found.<br><br>Marco and Dani are focused on their children and the future, not expecting the past to mar their happiness. A very real threat materializes in a bomb attack and brings with it a twist of fate: the incredible possibility of the future they dream of -- living together forever. But it also brings the specter of danger to hang over the entire d’Argenzio clan, and Marco and Dani will do everything they can to protect their family.

Prognosis: Forever

“I don’t know what’s going on here,” I said, “but bear with me while I get to the bottom of it.”


Turning back to Dani, I said, “Okay, Danilo Rosati, that was unworthy of you—what’s going on? Last time I saw you, you were in pretty good spirits, so talk.”


“My doctor was here just before lunch.”


“He sort of dropped a little bomb in my lap.”


“My one functioning kidney is not only not getting better, it’s”—his voice broke—“getting worse.”


“Oh, babe, I’m sorry, but we’ll get you through this. I’ll call Malcolm and see if I can get you moved up on the list right now.”


“Thanks. I have my first dialysis session in the morning.”


The tears were flowing steadily, so I grabbed some tissues from the box beside the bed and wiped his eyes. “Let me get something to wash your face with. Now, say hello to your visitors, and be nice, okay?”
