Overview

The final installment of the multi-award-winning, multicultural duology co-written by an atheist scientist and a Christian law enforcement officer that tackles hot button issues on the world stage showing our differences and our humanity

In a dark future, who can you trust?

Four years after the lillipads fell, Etyom is in chaos. A new strain of the New Black Death spreads, and the elite Graciles have mysteriously disappeared. Mila, now a Paladyn, fights against zealots to protect what remains, but a demon from Demitri's past threatens to destroy everything.

Caught between annihilation and conflicting loyalties, Mila must make a difficult choice: follow her heart or save the world? But following her heart comes at a price.
