Father Curtis has forsaken his vows. He has left the Order and joined the Seekers, a hidden rebellion dedicated to uncovering the truth long buried by the global church. But walking away from the Order does not mean escaping its reach.

If they can retrieve the artifact, it could change everything. If they fail, the truth will be lost forever.

The war for truth has begun. And the Order will not suffer heretics to live.

[Kez Sharrow · Rating 4 out of 5]

The premise of this story is intriguing. What would happen in a dystopian society, where the totalitarian regime is backed by a state religion, if the Old Testament was found? Most of the story is taken up with the flight of the scripture-seekers, including a series of miracles, from demonic and human attacks. The parts I found most interesting, however, were the responses of people encountering the scriptures for the first time—the questions raised, the transformation that happens when you can’t go back to what you believed before. It’s a good reminder of how powerful and precious these documents are.

Inheritance picks up where Fragments left off, with them leaving to search for the portions of scripture they heard about. We see miraculous protection while Phillip and Thaddeus protect Jeremiah and the scrolls. Jeremiah is in the line of people who have been protecting the Fragments and also have great knowledge of the contents. They face great danger and receive help from unexpected places. The number of those seeking Creator God grows, including Lars. We follow him both in his search for truth and also as he strives to keepnthe business his family stewards profitable in a corrupt system. We also see Leif work to be able to provide quality lumber to his family's business and others at a good profit. The corrupt system hampers them both.
I will admit it was harder for me to read this installment in the series, especially with how it ends, that being said it isn't the end of the story and I want to see where it goes.

[E.G. Moore · Rating 4 out of 5]

This story was a bit slow at the beginning but quickly picks up and doesn't let go. I had already read the first book in the series, so I already had reader expectations and understanding of the plot.

By chapter 19, I was getting chills. The way the world is woven with miracles and martyrs that mimic the bible and the history of the church is equal parts well-written and convicting. As a Christian, the almost prophetic plot feels like it could potentially happen before the end of the world.

I rooted for the characters struggling with their lives, the bad deals they made, and their faith while dreading the outcome of every decision and twist. Even as a member of the unholy order chases down our heros, I hoped he would also be convicted, growing sympathy for a man lost to untruth.

As the professor told Lars, "you cannot stop a seeker from seeking." This book makes me want to keep seeking this series!

“Inheritance” is a dystopian supernatural suspense novel that cranks up the tension in each chapter as a small group fights against the Order, which is cunningly relentless in its pursuit of those who defy its commands.

As the second book in The Seekers Series, “Inheritance” serves as a thoughtful exploration of what people will do when everything appears lost, except the truth of their faith which is being ravaged by the Order.

I highly recommended “Inheritance” if you enjoy supernatural suspense filled with people of courage and integrity in firmly gripping the truth.

Excellent, just excellent and awesome continuation of the first book. These characters have grown so much on me and I love the background of the series. The writing is captivating and chilling as well.
I am so looking forward to the next book!!
