Book Two of the epic series, Mercy Rising, continues the tale of The Prophecy, following Mercy and Orion into The Forbidden. Mercy wants nothing more than to shirk the prophecy of being the savior of her people, but Orion’s plan may give her the opportunity to free her from a completely different burden. If Zion had more women, maybe Choosing Day could be a thing of the past. Orion can’t stand the thought of leaving Mercy’s side, but his sister and the girls are counting on him. He has to save them. Hoping to steal them from under Meyers’ nose, he has no idea of the cost his plan holds. Follow Mercy and Orion as they navigate unfamiliar territory in The Forbidden. 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, be sure to go back and read it. You’ll appreciate the gripping back story.
