About this ebook
'A match for end-of-the-world classics like Stephen King's The Stand' - New York Times Review of Books
'Breathtaking' - Heat
Thirteen years ago, a catastrophic pandemic known as The Doom killed billions.
For those left behind, it is a chance to build a new world. But The Doom was no ordinary virus. In some survivors, it awoke strange powers - to heal, to harm, even to predict the future.
Fallon Swift has no memories of the old world - but she is destined to shape this new one. Growing up with her three brothers on a quiet farm, she has been protected from danger by her mother and stepfather.
Now she must leave them, and learn to fight. Because Fallon is not only a powerful 'Uncanny' - she also has a pivotal role to play in the bloody battles ahead. A war between good and evil is brewing, and Fallon - young, tough, headstrong - must be ready.
A sequel to the number one bestselling Year One, this breathtaking novel of love, war, family and magic is a gripping and deeply satisfying continuation of an extraordinary new trilogy.

I thought this book was ok, not as captivating as the first. I found the main character less interesting and the character progression seemed forced, as though you were told it had happened, rather than it being a natural progression, a journey you went on with the character. It had fewer twists, fewer relationships and seemed targeted at a younger audience than the first, which was far more gritty and deep. Overall the book was ok but no way near as good as the first.

The second book in Nora Roberts new story line of Fallon Swift. Loved it and keen to get the next one of what is obviously a series in the making. For people who like science fiction, this may be a series they could be interested in.

Cannot wait for the next one in the Trilogy! November 2018 too long and its only March now. Nora is a master story teller.
