About this audiobook
Jessica Jacobs-Wolde has somehow survived the worst that any mother or wife could ever endure: the deaths of her husband and first daughter. But now, four years later, not only is the nightmare continuing—it may have only just begun.
Jessica has discovered the terrifying truth behind the legacy that her husband left to their second daughter, Fana … a legacy preordained a thousand years before her time and drenched in the powerful lifeblood that now courses through her veins. As young Fana begins to display
unearthly abilities that are quickly spiraling out of control, she becomes the target of those who will stop at nothing to exploit her power—and the unwitting touchstone in an ancient supernatural battle whose outcome may decide the fate of all humanity.
“Due has become a modern-day Octavia Butler, a talented storyteller who stands tall among her horror cohorts Anne Rice and Stephen King.” —Boston Globe
