Acclaimed "New York Times" bestselling author Tosca Lee brilliantly
adapts the life of Judas Iscariot into a dazzling and award-winning
work of fiction--humanizing the man whose very name is synonymous
with betrayal.
History has called him many things: Thief. Liar. Traitor. Reviled
throughout history and infamous for his suicide, he is the man
whose very name is synonymous with betrayal . . .
And he is the only disciple that Jesus called "friend."
From the acclaimed bestselling author of "Havah: The Story of Eve,
Iscariot" is a compelling portrait of biblical history's most
maligned character--from his tumul-tuous childhood to his emergence
as the man known to the world as the betrayer of Jesus. But even
more, it is an extraordinary view into the life of Jesus that
forces us to reexamine everything we thought we knew about one of
the most famous--and infamous--religious icons in history.

In this gripping, high-octane sequel to The Line Between, which New
York Times bestselling author Alex Kava calls "everything you want
in a thriller," cult escapee Wynter Roth and ex-soldier Chase
Miller emerge from their bunker to find a country ravaged by
disease. Six months after vanishing into an underground silo with
sixty-one others, Wynter and Chase emerge to an altered world.
There is no sign of Noah and the rest of the group that was
supposed to greet them when they surfaced--the same people Wynter
was counting on to help her locate the antibiotics her gravely ill
friend, Julie, needs. As the clock ticks down on Julie's life,
Wynter and Chase embark on a desperate search for medicine and
answers. But what they find is not a nation on the cusp of recovery
but one decimated by disease. What happened while they were
underground? With food and water in limited supply and their own
survival in question, Chase and Wynter must venture further and
further from the silo. They come face-to-face with a radically
changed society, where communities scrabble to survive under rogue
leaders and cities are war zones. As hope fades by the hour and
Wynter learns the terrible truth of the last six months, she is
called upon again to help save a nation she no longer recognizes--a
place so chaotic she's no longer sure it can even survive. With
Tosca Lee's signature "beautifully written and deeply unnerving"
(Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author) prose, A
Single Light is a breathless thriller of nonstop suspense.
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.

Centuries 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. A
terrible secret was 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."
Nine years have gone by since an unlikely hero named Rom Sebastian
first discovered a secret and consumed an ancient potion of blood
to bring himself back to life in "Forbidden." Surviving against
impossible odds, Rom has gathered a secret faction of followers who
have also taken the blood-the first Mortals in a world that is
dead.
But The Order has raised an elite army to hunt and crush the
living. Division and betrayal threaten to destroy the Mortals from
within. The final surviving hope for humanity teeters on the brink
of annihilation and no one knows the path to survival.
On the heels of "Forbidden "comes MORTAL, the second novel in The
Books of Mortals saga penned by Ted Dekker and Tosca Lee. 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 take the journey.
The Books of Mortals are three novels, each of which stands on its
own, yet all are seamlessly woven into one epic thriller.

Nine years after Rom Sebastian was thrust into the most unlikely of
circumstances as hero and bearer of an unimaginable secret, the
alliance of his followers is in disarray. An epic battle with The
Order has left them scattered and deeply divided both in strategy
and resolve in their struggle to become truly alive and free. Only
49 truly alive followers remain loyal to Rom. This meager band must
fight for survival as The Order is focused on their total
annihilation. Misunderstood and despised, their journey will be one
of desperation against a new, more intensely evil Order. As the
hand of this evil is raised to strike and destroy them they must
rely on their faith in the abiding power of love to overcome all
and lead them to sovereignty. SOVEREIGN wonderfully continues the
new testament allegory that was introduced in FORBIDDEN and
continued in MORTAL.
