<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Acclaimed writer Due imagines the story of an ancient group of immortals--a hidden African clan that has survived for more than a thousand years--facing one of the most challenging issues of modern times: the AIDS/HIV pandemic.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From the acclaimed author of </b><i><b>The Living Blood</b></i><b>, comes an imaginative and enthralling tale about an ancient group of African immortals facing one of the most challenging issues of our time: the AIDS/HIV pandemic. Now in paperback. <p/></b>In this sequel to her Essence bestsellers, The Living Blood and My Soul to Keep, fan-favorite Tananarive Due introduces readers to a new drug: Glow. Said to heal almost any illness, Glow gets its power from the blood of immortals, and it's up to the Blood Colony, a small but powerful group of immortals, to keep the supplies coming so that AIDS and other diseases will be wiped out. Meet Fana Wolde, seventeen years old, the only immortal born with the Living Blood. She can read minds and her injuries heal immediately. When her best friend, a mortal, is imprisoned by Fana's family, Fana helps her escape and together they run away from Fana's protected home in Washington State to join the Underground Railroad of Glow peddlers. But Fana has more than her parents to worry about: Glow peddlers are being murdered by a violent, hundredyear- old sect with ties to the Vatican. Now, when Fana is most vulnerable, she is being hunted to fulfill an ancient blood prophecy that could lead to countless deaths. While her people search for Fana and race to unravel the unknown sect's mysterious origins, Fana must learn to confront the deadly forces--or she and everyone she loves will die.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Blood Colony</i> will steal your breath on every impossible-to-put-down page. Due is masterful in crafting this thrill-ride of a tale that was truly worth the wait! -- L.A. Banks, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Vampire Huntress Legends Series</i><br><br>An elegant, scary, richly exciting tale -- all that we've come to expect from Tananarive Due. -- Greg Bear, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling and award-winning author of <i>Quantico</i>, <i>Darwin's Radio</i>, and <i>City at the End of Time</i><br><br>The genius of Tananarive Due is in weaving an imaginative tale so expertly that the reader is convinced she has suspended time and all reason. After reading <i>Blood Colony</i>, her third installment about the mysterious sect of immortals from ancient Ethiopia, I found myself, once again, utterly engrossed in the heart-pounding odyssey of Dawit, Jessica and their daughter, Fana. Her storytelling is at once intimate and wholly epic. Her characters, though otherworldly and supernatural, are profoundly relatable and eerily familiar. -- Blair Underwood, actor and director, coauthor of <i>Casanegra</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b> <br>Tananarive Due </b>is the <i>Essence </i>bestselling author of several acclaimed novels, including <i>Joplin's Ghost </i>and <i>The Good House. </i>She lives in Glendora, California.
