| Forbidden by Ted Dekker and Tosca LeeScience Fiction. Five hundred years in the future, humanity has been drained of all emotions save one: fear. Ruled by The Order, this dystopian world is one of (seeming) peace but no joy, where people report on each other for breaking rules. But changes come when an elderly man gives 24-year-old Rom Elias a package, telling Rom that his father didn't die of fever but was murdered while protecting what was inside. Guards appear and slash the old man's throat; Rom panics and flees. Hidden in an abandoned store, he opens the package and finds a vial of blood and a paper, which have the power to bring emotion back to the world. This twisty, compelling 1st entry in the Books of Mortals trilogy provides what authors Ted Dekker and Tosca Lee are both known for: thought-provoking, unusual stories. |
