Book Description
Amara Ira stands out. She really can’t help it. In the Seven Cities, shored up against the void outside by soaring concrete walls no one sees over, there is only white, grey, silver, and gold. Amara was born in colors that are forbidden even to wear, and it sucks. Her mother’s never satisfied, her picture-perfect sister is almost terrified of her, and everyone is constantly asking her, “Were you born looking like that?” as if she’d do this to herself. Provided she can pass “betrothal training”, Amara is mentally preparing to be handed off at eighteen to whatever man her mother can pay richly enough to take her. When Crown Prince Atlas (kinder and much more perceptive than she’d given him credit for) takes an interest in her, Amara’s fortunes seem ready to change. But there’s so much she doesn’t know. Somewhere else—somewhere that will strain the bounds of Amara’s imagination and shatter her understanding of the world and of herself—someone is watching her. A woman whose name lives in horror stories told to future brides, whose fate is bound into that of the golden royal family and into Amara’s own. That woman is sharpening her blades and saying to herself: “It’s time to bring her home. The gods are awake, and we have work to do.”

The trilogyincludes: One Minute After You Die. A simple and moving explanation of what the Bible teaches about death, this book makes you consider a sobering truth: one minute after you die, your life will not be over.

How You Can Be Sure You Will Spend Eternity with Godsummarizes the Bible’s teaching on salvation, answering questions like, “What role do I play in my own salvation? Can I lose my salvation if I commit a serious sin? What if I doubt that I’m saved?” Your Eternal Reward. This book explores the often-overlooked Scriptures about reward and judgment for Christians, answering questions like, “How will believers be judged? Do rewards for faithfulness vary? If heaven is perfect, why do rewards even matter?” Together these books will help you live faithfully today, readying you for that final hour when you meet your Maker.
