The Map of Bones
Book 2 in the Fire Sermon trilogy
Even the ashes of the past cannot hide the truth forever
The Omega resistance has been brutally attacked, its members dead or in hiding.
The Alpha Council’s plan for permanently containing the Omegas has begun.
But all is not entirely lost: the Council’s seer, The Confessor, is dead, killed by her twin’s sacrifice.
Cass is left haunted by visions of the past, while her brother Zach’s cruelty and obsession pushes her to the edge, and threatens to destroy everything she hopes for.
As the country moves closer to all-out civil war, Cass will learn that to change the future she will need to uncover the past. But nothing can prepare her for what she discovers: a deeply buried secret that raises the stakes higher than ever before.
The Fire Sermon
BORN AS TWINS
RAISED AS ENEMIES
BOUND BY DEATH
Since the blast that reshaped the earth, only twins are born. The one deemed imperfect is branded at birth and sent away. Twins share nothing but the moment of their death: when one dies, so does the other.
But Cass and her twin, Zach, cannot be separated.
In this scorched and broken world, Cass’s bond with her brother may be the most dangerous thing of all.
