It began on New Year’s Eve. The sickness came on suddenly, and spread quickly. The fear spread even faster. Within weeks, everything people counted on began to fail them. The electrical grid sputtered; law and government collapsed - and more than half of the world’s population was decimated. Where there had been order, there was now chaos. And as the power of science and technology receded, magick rose up in its place.

Auftakt der großen Trilogie von Bestsellerautorin Nora Roberts. Die junge Lana und ihren Mann Max verbindet eine große und außergewöhnliche Liebe. Als eine weltweite Seuche ausbricht und New York innerhalb kürzester Zeit ins Chaos stürzt, fliehen Lana und Max aus der Stadt und gründen die Gemeinschaft New Hope. Doch auch hier rückt die Gefahr dem Paar bedrohlich nahe. Lana setzt alles daran, dem Inferno zu entkommen, denn sie trägt inzwischen ein Kind unter dem Herzen - die "Auserwählte", ihre zukünftige Tochter, die als Einzige in der Lage sein wird, dem Leid der Menschheit ein Ende zu setzen.

After the sickness known as the Doom destroyed civilization, magick has become commonplace, and Fallon Swift has spent her young years learning its ways. Fallon cannot live in peace until she frees those who have been preyed upon by the government or the fanatical Purity Warriors, endlessly hunted or locked up in laboratories, brutalized for years on end. She is determined to save even those who have been complicit with this evil out of fear or weakness - if, indeed, they can be saved.

Fallon 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. Traveling anywhere is a danger, as vicious gangs of Raiders and fanatics called Purity Warriors search for their next victim. 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.
