From the back cover: Our coming was foretold by the elders— Those who would change the future, just as the planet teetered on the edge of darkness.
Born on the prophesied day with birthmarks in the form of a crescent moon, they knew us immediately. Swaddled and screaming, we were spirited away by those who hid us, trained us, and kept us safe until our time came.
They poured their lives into us. Some died to save us.
And now we, the Remnants, protected by Knights of the Last Order, have gathered.
Called until we breathe our last … to save the world.
In the future, rather than continuing to evolve, things have regressed to the past. Technology has devolved so that there is more of a Medieval Times feel to it than a futuristic feel. The world is in chaos. There are The Sons Of Sheol to deal with as well as demonic forces and other enemies. For us there are only the little band of Remnants. This group battles the darkness and stands for the Light. Dri and Ronan are such marvelous characters that we identify with and care for right away. Plus there is that superb supporting cast that are also a lot of fun. Ms. Bergren immediately brings us into this new world and we want to help save it. Plus did I mention there is romance? Take the phone off the hook as you are not going to want to be bothered while you are reading. What a great way to start a new series! I am already looking forward to the next book.
