Book One: The Crossing
Click here to read an extract
The people of Onewere know that they are special – chosen to survive the deadly event that consumed the Earth. Now, from their rotting cruise ship, the elite control the population, manipulating old texts to set themselves up as living gods. When Maryam crosses from child to woman, she must make a crossing of another kind. But life inside the ship is not as she had dreamed, and she is faced with the unthinkable: obey the leaders and very likely die, or turn her back on the beliefs she once held dear.

Maryam, Ruth and Joseph have fled Onewere, accompanied by Joseph's troublesome cousin, Lazarus. They arrive at their destination, Marawa Island, filled with hope for rescue and reprieve.
But the island appears to be solely populated by birds, and all that remains of its once sophisticated culture are crumbling buildings adorned with strange pagan carvings. Then Joseph becomes very ill. Perhaps the Apostle's dire warnings about the
fall-out of the Tribulation were true after all?

Somehow Maryam must get the islanders to listen to her plea and start thinking for themselves... before it's too late. Maryam fights for life, freedom and love in this thrilling finale. |
