What happens when a top Australian cellist, who has a secret identity as an assassin, and who arrogantly thinks she’s untouchable, is asked to kill an innocent? My book is about the unravelling of her power, slowly, piece by piece, as she realises not only is she not untouchable, she is vulnerable in the face of emotions.Īlthough the novel follows the familiar theme of “assassin is falling for her victim, what prevents her from following through with the job ”, this novel is more than just a thriller. With Requiem for Immortal’s short-story sequel, Love Is Not Nothing, recently out for English readers, there’s no better time to discover why the powerful story of an underworld Australian assassin and her mousy target won a Goldie Award and was a Lambda finalist.Ĭould you tell us in a few sentences what Requiem for Immortals is all about?

Ylva is releasing award-winning novelist Lee Winter’s Requiem for Immortals in German this month, as Requiem mit tödlicher Partitur.
