Machiavelli the Immortal is a series by Mark Hodder launched in 2024 with A Dark and Subtle Light. The concept takes Niccolo Machiavelli, the fifteenth-century Florentine political philosopher and writer, and reimagines him as an immortal figure who has survived across centuries, using his understanding of power and human nature to influence events through history.
Hodder is known for his steampunk and alternate-history fiction, and this series extends those interests into a broader historical canvas. The first book, published in 2024, establishes the premise and the character’s voice while setting up what appears to be a larger ongoing story.
The series has one volume at the time of writing. It is listed in the reading order table below.
