DARK FORCES ARE GATHERING, TWO WORLDS PREPARE FOR BATTLE. OUR DESTINY IS WRITTEN, YET OUR FATE IS UNCLEAR. I'VE SEEN IT IN MY DREAMS.

My name is Lily Quinn. Like my brother, Lucas, I am a Sorcha, a descendant of the disciples of Christ. The power of the light lives inside me. As one of the twelve, I wield an extraordinary supernatural gift that frightens and excites me at the same time.

I dream of things that haven't happened yet...wonderful and terrible things. Like puzzle pieces create a detailed image, my dreams construct a picture of the future. And my visions are coming more often now...haunting, violent, and still unclear. Of this much, I am sure. The journey ahead will be dangerous, and it will cost us something precious. But what? Or even worse, who?

Now that we are united, our path is clear. Demonic forces are threatening to destroy our world, and we are the only ones who can stand in their way. My hands have been trained for war, but when the time comes, will I be bold? Will the others? Will we have the courage to face evil itself? I pray that we will because the great battle is upon us. The book of Simon is the key to our victory, and it's within our grasp. With it, we have hope; without it, we are surely ruined.

Dramatic and heart-stopping, Word of Hope and Ruin, book three in the Descendants of Light series, is a character-driven, action-packed, epic story of the only fight that matters.
