Book Three in the critically acclaimed The Fire Sermon trilogy—The Hunger Games meets Cormac McCarthy’s The Road in this richly imagined post-apocalyptic series by award-winning poet Francesca Haig.Haigs prose is gorgeous and engaging, particularly when she describes the desolate landscape, now peppered with ruins from the Before.
