Fire and Prophecy - Cruz, Rachelle

. .

Résumé :
The Great Sickness was new to everyone and there was no known cure. Little was known of its origins. But the first human falling ill from it died after 10 days, a farmer from the southeast states. From this moment, it spread with alarming rapidity. After months of mounting disorder as the sickness decimated one population after another, and resources dwindled, the Great War erupted. The war burnt itself out, leaving behind the smouldering ruins of many cities, lands, and peoples. Families dispersed, many got ill and died, and some went missing. To maintain the fragile peace in what remained, a new world order was created: Nova. It was divided into eight regions, each ruled by a Governor or Autarch. Under the Nova pact, no one was allowed to trespass each other's borders. Trespassing could mean death. But Estella had to search for her missing loved ones who had left for the war and never returned. She was given a supernatural vision: The key to finding her missing family is to find this golden heart locket. Throughout her journey in search for the locket, she meets friends and foes, ghouls and demons, angels and guides. Will this prophetic quest end in victory or will she lose everything she has, including herself?
