They journeyed through time encountering the Greeks, battling Roman soldiers during the Roman Empire, being sacrificed at the Roman Coliseum, taking bloody revenge on those they find worthy of death, and hiding among the Celts in northern Europe, while all the while falling in love, adopting children, and trying to find a way to evade discovery and survive eternal life.
