This is the story of Victoria Wells, a woman who goes from being a prostitute in the East End of London to a wealthy philanthropist in New York City. Victoria is a long-timer, a person with an extremely long life span. After learning about herself, she meets Charles and Renee Fox, two long-timers who have been married for more than a thousand years. Victoria is taken in by another long-timer, Bergeron, a shadowy figure who may be Jack the Ripper. The story follows Victoria from her first meeting with Bergeron, through her relocation to New York and into the current day. It also takes Charles and Renee from their earliest times through their marriage and into the present, touching on some of the historical events in which they have participated.
