About this ebook

Centuries have passed since civilization's brush with apocalypse. The world's greatest threats have all been silenced. There is no anger, no hatred, no war. There is only perfect peace...and fear. A terrible secret was closely guarded for centuries: every single soul walking the earth, though in appearance totally normal, is actually dead, long ago genetically stripped of true humanity.

Nine years have gone by since an unlikely hero named Rom Sebastian first discovered a secret and consumed an ancient potion of blood to bring himself back to life in Forbidden. Surviving against impossible odds, Rom has gathered a secret faction of followers who have also taken the blood-the first Mortals in a world that is dead.

But The Order has raised an elite army to hunt and crush the living. Division and betrayal threaten to destroy the Mortals from within. The final surviving hope for humanity teeters on the brink of annihilation and no one knows the path to survival.

On the heels of Forbidden comes MORTAL, the second novel in The Books of Mortals saga penned by Ted Dekker and Tosca Lee. Set in a terrifying, medieval future, where grim pageantry masks death, this tale of dark desires and staggering stakes peels back the layers of the heart for all who dare take the journey.

The Books of Mortals are three novels, each of which stands on its own, yet all are seamlessly woven into one epic thriller.

Ratings and reviews

I like this book more than the first book in series. I enjoyed the development of multiple characters, great plot twists and book flowed well. It is interesting how the characters go from pure confidence in their direction(faith) to having moments of new understanding that move the plot forward. Always longed to learn more about Jonathan who was always the mystery. Clearly Jonathan is the Christ like character in which everyone in book has a different take on what this savior should be. No matter what Jonathan did it was not enough and always a mystery.

Ted Dekker is an absolutely riveting writer. He has me reading practically all his books.

This one kept me reading for hours unwilling to put it down. Another great read.
