Highlander the Immortal Legacy of the Macleods - Prologue

The year is 2039. Twenty-five years have passed since Duncan MacLeod's fateful encounter with The Source. In that dark future of 2014, during humanity's descent into chaos, Duncan had made the ultimate choice - choosing love over immortality. His victory against the Guardian granted him something no immortal had achieved before: true mortality and the ability to have a child with his beloved Anna.
Their son, Jacob, was born a year later in 2015 - a miracle child, the first natural-born offspring of a former immortal. For twenty-four years, they lived the life Duncan had only dreamed of: watching his son grow, age, and become a man. Even as the world slowly rebuilt itself from the chaos of those dark times, they found peace in their secluded existence.
But destiny had a cruel twist in store. The very thing that had made Jacob possible - Duncan's encounter with The Source - had left an unexpected legacy in his son's blood. Now, in 2039, with Duncan at 70 (his mortal years counted from after The Source), Jacob at 24, and the world still healing from its near-collapse, their peaceful life is about to be shattered.
