In a mysterious shelter in the forest, her training is about to begin under the guidance of Mallick, whose skills have been honed over centuries. Those like Fallon, in possession of gifts, are hunted - and the time is coming when her true nature, her identity as The One, can no longer be hidden. Traveling anywhere is a danger, as vicious gangs of Raiders and fanatics called Purity Warriors search for their next victim. But beyond the edges of this peaceful farm, unimaginable forces of light and dark have been unleashed.įallon Swift, approaching her thirteenth birthday, barely knows the world that existed before - the city where her parents lived, now in ruins and reclaimed by nature since the Doom sickened and killed billions. They look like an everyday family living an ordinary life. (Dec.Nora Roberts, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the epic Year One returns with Of Blood and Bone, a new tale of terror and magic in a brand new world. Though it’s the middle book in a planned trilogy, this can be read on its own and will appeal to fans of fast-paced dystopian tales with a strong heroine. Fallon’s training culminates with her attempts to raise an army, and an opportunity for her to save her mother’s old pals and their kids in the colony of New Hope, which is targeted by evil Uncannys. While this isn’t particularly new territory-a reluctant heroine butting heads with her square mentor, a series of quests to prove the heroine worthy, a meet-cute with a boy who will obviously play a greater role in her life-Roberts is a natural storyteller, and the narrative is consistently enjoyable. Fallon decides to leave her family and moves with Mallick to an undisclosed location to hone her magic and fighting skills. Fallon’s mother, Lana, is told by a man named Mallick that Fallon is destined to train with him for two years, beginning on her 13th birthday, to prepare for her role.
After most of the world’s population dies from a virus known as The Doom, people called Uncannys develop magical powers and separate into good and evil factions.
Roberts’s fun follow-up to 2017’s Year One focuses on the training phase of mankind’s chosen savior, 13-year-old Fallon Swift.
