Book 2 of the New Humanity series is a thrilling adventure of murder, kidnapping, civil war, and the quest for true love. You will hold your breath as Leah and De Leon risk it all to find their place in a new world, free of slavery and the threat of reprogramming, where their happily-ever-after is more than a wish and a dream.
Fleeing slavery and the threat of reprogramming, the Wit lovers De Leon and Leah agree to undertake a dangerous journey through the desert to meet The Mother.
Their guide and captor, La Hoya, refuses to answer Leah’s questions about the mysterious, messiah-like figure, and it’s clear to her there’s something sinister going on. A sinthete, she can sense both La Hoya’s attraction to her and De Leon’s fear. She can also sense her lover is throwing a wall up between them, although she can’t figure out why.
It’s clear La Hoya has his own agenda. And while Leah’s abilities as a sinthete could prove crucial to soldiers in the war for Wit freedom, she can see he’s determined to find a way to use them at any cost—even if the price includes De Leon’s murder.
Days after leaving her old life behind, the clock is already ticking on her ability to adapt. Will Leah discover how to use her powers in time, or will her lover die at her own hands?
