From internationally bestselling author Pedro Urvi comes a gripping new adventure that follows one young woman’s perilous journey to defy a divine curse and unearth a lost cure that could save humanity
Ava’s people are cursed.
Long after an ancient and mysterious Apocalypse reduced what remained of humanity to a primitive tribe living in the shadows of sphinx and pyramid, a horrific transformation eventually overtakes each member of the community, turning them into vicious and terrifying monsters.
Every year, the capricious god Siaais selects three champions from the tribe to undertake a perilous quest for the Cure, the key to the salvation of Ava’s people. And every year, those champions fail, never to return.
But this year, something extraordinary happens. Instead of three warriors, Siaais chooses only one—Amos—along with a scholar and a Ava’s cousin Amelia, and Ava herself. So begins an adventure in which past, present, and future collide. As Ava and her companions race against time to reach the Cure, they face dangers and mysteries beyond their imagining in a world where nothing at all is as it seems.

He went a different direction and I love it! I’m usually a fantasy-fiction reader and that’s where I discovered Pedro. This story kept me reading from the moment I opened the book. Again, another world that I can fall into. I can’t wait to see where this story goes.
