It was so great, the Lord sent his own Daughter to bring fire and devastation to the world. <p/>Brothers Clive and Clover Hamill, the sons of a well-respected Descendant minister, have spent their lives spreading that gospel. But when their traveling ministry discovers a community called Sophia that's intent on rediscovering the blasphemous technologies of the past, a chain of events will be set in motion. <p/>Alongside Gemma Poplin, Clive's childhood sweetheart, and Paz Dedios, a revolutionary who dreams of overthrowing the Descendancy, Clive's and Clover's paths will diverge, and each will play a part in determining the fate of humanity itself.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>*2017 PARENTS' CHOICE RECOMMENDED </b><br><br>"The language is authentic and engaging.This is not a typical dystopian novel, but readers who enjoy a thoughtful storyline will enjoy this first book in a promising series."--VOYA<br><br>"The story...carries the reader along for a wild ride that will leave them anxious for the next volume."-- "Booklist"<br><br>"Wallach's latest is a haunting exploration of our world's struggles with religion, war, and learning...This beautiful and heartbreaking tale will have all readers eagerly anticipating the next installment."--School Library Journal<br><br>"Wallach builds a plausible world with richly evocative descriptions of action...a provocative novel of a society riven by subterfuge and zealotry."--Kirkus Reviews<br>
