Plot summary

Sent by the Celestial Arishem on the starship Domo, ten Eternals arrive on Earth in 5000 BC to wipe out the Deviants, invasive creatures that hunt the planet's populations. Once the last Deviants are destroyed in 1521, the group disagrees about how far to involve themselves with humankind, and over the following centuries they scatter and live apart, waiting for orders. Sersi and Sprite share a home in London, where Sersi works as a museum curator and dates the human Dane Whitman. The Deviant Kro attacks the two of them and Dane; Ikaris arrives to drive the creature off. Sersi, Sprite and Ikaris then travel to South Dakota to reunite with Ajak, the Eternals' leader.
