Of blood and bone
Roberts, Nora
Genre:
They look like an everyday family living an ordinary life. But beyond the edges of this peaceful farm
unimaginable forces of light and dark have been unleashed. 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. 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. She will learn the old ways of healing; study and spar; encounter faeries and elves and shifters; and find powers within herself she never imagined. And when the time is right
she will take up the sword
and fight. For until she grows into the woman she was born to be
the world outside will never be whole again.
