" How about we help each other?" He says and I look up at him, eyes still wet from the tears streaming down my cheeks, heart freshly broken from the public humiliation and betrayal that was Lucas's breakup. I can faintly make out the first droppings of snow floating magically under the light of the street lamps. It's that time of the year, a time for wool coats, a time for relaxing, none of which I'll be doing. "I'm an orphan with a wicked aunt and a boyfriend who left her because she has nothing to her name, how could I possibly help you?" I say another sob escaping my lips. "Marry me" he replies and my eyes widen in anger. Is he mocking me?. I look into the eyes of this stranger and see he's dead serious.

When death is a blessing. Bagaimana jika lingkup sosial kita di isi oleh orang-orang menakjubkan? Diantaranya adalah orang yang mempunyai anugerah di luar nalar. Salah satunya seorang bernama Jayendra yang berumur lebih dari 700 tahun dan akan selalu bertambah ratusan bahkan ribuan tahun lagi. Dia memiliki sebuah bakat magis yang disebut Ajian Nityasa. Kemampuan untuk berumur abadi. Mempunyai tingkat kesembuhan kilat ketika kulitnya tergores, tubuh kebal terhadap senjata dan racun, fisik yang tidak dapat merasakan sakit, serta tubuh yang tidak menua. Namun dari balik anugerah umur panjangnya itu, gejolak dari dalam batinnya justru sangat berlawanan dengan kekuatan luarnya. Pengalaman hidup yang dia lewati telah banyak membuatnya menderita. Kehidupan panjang tak bisa menjaminnya untuk bisa menikmati waktunya yang melimpah. Kebahagiaan tak lagi bisa dia rasakan. Dari semua alasan itu, maka baginya kematian adalah hal yang sangat ia damba. Tetapi malaikat pencabut nyawa bahkan tak akan mau mendekatinya yang telah dianugerahi umur abadi. Pusaka yang menjadi kunci satu-satunya untuk menghilangkan Ajian Panjang Umur itu telah lenyap ratusan tahun lalu. Maka jalan tunggal yang harus ditempuh adalah kembali ke masa lalu.

Masa lalu berlatar pada awal abad 13 di Kerajaan Galuh pada masa kepemimpinan Maharaja Prabu Dharmasiksa. Di zaman itulah misi yang semula hanya untuk mengambil sebuah pusaka seolah berubah menjadi misi bunuh diri. Kebutaan manusia akan sejarah membuatnya terjebak pada konflik era kolosal yang rumit. Mampukah mereka melakukannya? Atau akan terjebak selamanya?
