From the acclaimed author of "The Living Blood," comes an
imaginative and enthralling tale about an ancient group of African
immortals facing one of the most challenging issues of our time:
the AIDS/HIV pandemic. Now in paperback.
In this sequel to her Essence bestsellers, The Living Blood and My
Soul to Keep, fan-favorite Tananarive Due introduces readers to a
new drug: Glow. Said to heal almost any illness, Glow gets its
power from the blood of immortals, and it's up to the Blood Colony,
a small but powerful group of immortals, to keep the supplies
coming so that AIDS and other diseases will be wiped out. Meet Fana
Wolde, seventeen years old, the only immortal born with the Living
Blood. She can read minds and her injuries heal immediately. When
her best friend, a mortal, is imprisoned by Fana's family, Fana
helps her escape and together they run away from Fana's protected
home in Washington State to join the Underground Railroad of Glow
peddlers. But Fana has more than her parents to worry about: Glow
peddlers are being murdered by a violent, hundredyear- old sect
with ties to the Vatican. Now, when Fana is most vulnerable, she is
being hunted to fulfill an ancient blood prophecy that could lead
to countless deaths. While her people search for Fana and race to
unravel the unknown sect's mysterious origins, Fana must learn to
confront the deadly forces--or she and everyone she loves will die.
