Description
New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker teams with Tosca Lee to create this gripping thriller set in a desolate future.
Many years 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. But a terrible secret has been 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.
Fleeing pursuit, with only moments to live, a young man named Rom stumbles into possession of a vial of blood and a piece of cryptic writing. When consumed, the blood will bring him back to life. When decoded, the message will lead him on a perilous journey that will require him to abandon everything he has ever known and awaken humanity to the transforming power of true life and love.
But the blood will also resurrect hatred, ambition, and greed.
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 to take the ride.

It got even better
5By Theoneandonlypanda33I read this when I was younger. The second time around was far better than the first. This book keeps getting better!Forbidden
5By EdajwifeI've read so many of Dekker's books. Once again I wasn't disappointed. The portrayal of complete innocence up against complete corruption have become images I won't soon forget. Plot twists abound!Great book
5By JunkdunkI have to be honest and say after reading the first couple of chapters I didn't think I was going to read the rest. I am so very glad I did however and I can't wait until I start the next book.Another amazing Ted Dekker book - Forbidden.
5By SrabickiAnother amazing book by Ted Dekker. One of very few authors that keep me coming back for more. You never know what to expect from his truly unusual, unpredictable, imaginative stories. Bravo Once again Mr. Dekker! A fan, Sue RDefinitely a good book!
5By JusCallMeDevThis is such an amazing and touching book! I just bought the second one and I can't wait to start reading!Meh
3By Badmojo101The Keeper grabbed me but the Forgotten let me go somewhere around chapter 10. I may still finish it but the story seems like one over-dramatized, micromanaged discovery of emotion after another, to not be too specific. This coming from someone who adored Black, Red, White, and Green to boot. 3 stars because I still have faith in you Mr Dekker!A great story
