Book Three of the epic series, Mercy Rising, continues the tale of The Forbidden, following Mercy and the people of Zion as she fulfills a prophecy to a greater extent than any had imagined. Mercy struggles between her responsibilities in Zion and a calling that won't let her rest, a calling that drives her back to The Forbidden. Once again, pushing the thoughts of Choosing Day away and ignoring the events that left her bound to Orion, she throws herself into her new role as the Robin Hood of the Apocalypse. Orion has vowed himself to Mercy and doesn't regret it. He returns to The Forbidden with her to continue the work he started before the red-headed warrior had rescued him. Back in his hometown, he faces more than he plans for, having to choose between the two most important people in his life. Mercy Rising is a clean, dystopian survival fiction series that is based on the children, now grown, from Grant Us Mercy, a post-apocalyptic survival fiction series. If you haven't read Grant Us Mercy yet, you can devour that series after you read Mercy Rising: The Deliverance. You'll appreciate the gripping origins of Zion.
