Hachette Book Group
New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker teams with Tosca Lee to create this gripping thriller set in a desolate future.

Many years have passed since civilization's brush with apocalypse. The world's greatest threats have all been silenced. There is no anger, no hatred, no war. There is only perfect peace... and fear. But a terrible secret has been closely guarded for centuries: Every single soul walking the earth, though in appearance totally normal, is actually dead, long ago genetically stripped of true humanity.

Fleeing pursuit, with only moments to live, a young man named Rom stumbles into possession of a vial of blood and a piece of cryptic writing. When consumed, the blood will bring him back to life. When decoded, the message will lead him on a perilous journey that will require him to abandon everything he has ever known and awaken humanity to the transforming power of true life and love.

But the blood will also resurrect hatred, ambition, and greed.

Set in a terrifying, medieval future, where grim pageantry masks death, this tale of dark desires and staggering stakes peels back the layers of the heart for all who dare to take the ride.

Love Love Love this book! Ted Dekker and Tosca Lee did an amazing job writing this. I especially enjoyed the aspect of fantasy and the very interesting characters in this book. There was so much suspense and twists in the story that it made it impossible to put the book down! Overall this was a great read. :)

This was a pretty good book. The story was really interesting, filled with political intrigue and great characters. I could really get into the characters, and the villains were creepy and made me squirm more than once. My only criticism is that the writing style is repetitive, but aside from that, it was well-written.

Wow! The characters are so relatable and even saric was humanized well enough for one to have sympathy for him. Jonothan was so innocent and childlike but yet so wise! So many plot twists. The only complaint I have is that mortal doesn't come out until may.
