Once Immortal

Nayi, dragon god of water, darkness, and cold is stripped of his immortality and banished to the mortal realm. After nurturing the nascent human race, he retires deep into the mountains to cultivate in an attempt to reclaim his place in heaven. However, as thousands of years pass, Nayi’s body and power only deteriorate with age.

Then, a young dragon shows up on Nayi’s doorstep claiming to be his son and begging for help against vicious phoenix raiders. Nayi is thrust into a new role as a first-time father and teacher.

And he has no idea what he’s doing.

Inspired by the xianxia genre, Once Immortal is a whimsical, fable-style eastern fantasy novel which doubles as a comedic mediation on mortality, mentorship, and parenthood. Witness the birth of a realm of dragons and phoenixes, the Land of Sea and Flame. Enter Nayi’s mountain school for dragons, and join his class as they train to become great martial artists.
