In a small coffee shop in the second district of Vienna, as the city and the wider world changes almost beyond recognition, twelve happy years pass for three lovers. Gabriel, Florian, and Solomon manage their small business and work to support their growing family, building a legacy for the future.
Gabriel, however, is still bound by his agreement with the guardian nature spirit of Augarten. In exchange for letting Ian pass through one of her gates to become an angel, Gabriel must pay the price and step through another gate himself.
If Gabriel has managed to squeeze enough spiritual work into his life, and it has carried him far enough, then when he passes through Augarten's gate he will take the next step beyond human and become an angel himself. If he has not and still has too much remaining karma, then he will go back into incarnation, forgetting all that he has known and loved in this current beautiful and blessed life in Vienna.
The final equinox nears, and Gabriel is left with no choice but to take the leap and face his fate. If the timing is right, his lovers will lose him but gain Ian, their shared guardian angel, at the same moment. And if Gabriel can survive the journey through the afterworld, Florian and Solomon will gain a second guardian angel in him.
Eviternity, the epilogue to the Augarten series, which is best read in order, is an MMM urban fantasy romance about a love that spans lifetimes. It contains magical realism, cute babies who can speak to cute baby trees, a book bindery full of lost memories, and, even in the darkest times, lots of espresso.
