The Lasting Light
A dozen years have passed since the world’s collapse, leaving society even more divided than ever and the survivors fighting over resources. Monsters born from the collective fears of humanity rule abandoned cities, while remote groups struggle in small enclaves to patch together some semblance of normalcy.
John, the son of Randy Thomas, is among the few people living in privilege. His citizens are convinced he’s the Second Coming, and they’ve dedicated their lives to keeping him comfortable and safe. They believe the threat of the Antichrist is near, and they’re willing to raze what’s left of their country to the ground destroy the perceived evil.
Aurora, daughter of the virgin Alisha Brown, knows she’s special, even if she’s not quite sure why or how. She knows the people who look like demons have been looking for her, determined to see her dead, but she also knows looks can be deceiving. An attack sends her and her protectors fleeing toward an allied camp hundreds of miles away, but the journey is wrought with danger, and their enemy is still in pursuit.
Both children hold the very fabric of time and space in the palms of their hands. When they learn the truth behind the illusion driving the divide, the world suddenly faces an even larger threat—one that could destroy everything.

One again Lee Mitchell hits it out of the park. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and can't wait for the third and final book of this awesome trilogy.

Good story
It presents curiosities that I didn't think about before. In a world of humans that see everyone else as monsters or angels which side is the right one?

Great follow-up to the first book!
I liked the story and the characters. The unique plotline held my interest and I'm glad there is a third book.
