Description:
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.
My Thoughts:
I’ve read mixed reviews about this book, but I really liked it. For me it was more reminiscent of the “Circle Books” by Dekker and that style of Dekker’s work that I’ve enjoyed the most. It has the same feel of good verses evil, of the importance of “blood” in the analogy being built, and the value of love. I get the same sense of the building of an important and powerful story that will point to The Story of salvation. I can’t wait to read more! I absolutely adored the "Circle" books and feel excited about the power of this series as well!
