2023 Selah Award Finalist in First Novel
World War III has erupted on American soil. Seventeen-year-old Jadzia’s life
will never be the same again.
As a mandatory draft takes effect, Jadzia finds herself on the front lines of
the war, torn apart from her family. But when her best friend is killed, Jadzia
is desperate to find her way back to them. She abandons her platoon and sets
out on her own.
Jadzia must navigate a dangerous cross-country journey, facing betrayal,
violence, and the constant threat of death. Along the way, she meets Ryker–the son
of a faith leader whose places of worship have been attacked. Despite the
chaos, Jadzia finds refuge and friendship among Ryker’s unlikely group of
individuals … even though their faith is a little old-fashioned. And Ryker's
insistence on helping her doesn't make it easier for Jadzia to resist her
growing feelings toward him.
But the military is determined to capture Jadzia and all outlaws. When survival
seems impossible, will sacrifice be their only route to freedom?
This action-packed YA dystopian novel is perfect for fans of The Out of Time
Series and The Gifting Series.
REVIEW
I've been looking for a good dystopian to sink into, and boy, did this fit the bill! Heather Kreke effortlessly weaves an immersive story of what could happen if a religious war broke out in the US in the future. And when I tell you that it was immersive, buddy I literally lost track of time reading this and COULD NOT put it down! I may have even been a few minutes late to a meeting because I was finishing the last few pages. Sorry, not sorry!
The characters had great development and you really want to know what is going to happen to them next. I really hope that there is a sequel because I'm dying to know what happens next! Even though the end gave some closure, there is a little bit of a cliff hanger that leaves plenty of room to continue the story.
What surprised me about the story were the subtle Christian notes that were woven in. They were done with a deft hand and very purposely added so they helped move the story along. I would not call this a "Christian" fiction book because that is not the main focus of the story, but I really appreciate those touches. All in all, this is a great young adult book that is enjoyable for adults as well. This is one of my new favorites for sure!
