Story
Fallon Swift, approaching her thirteenth birthday, barely knows the world that existed before - the city where her parents lived, now in ruins and reclaimed by nature since the Doom sickened and killed billions. Traveling anywhere is a danger, as vicious gangs of Raiders and fanatics called Purity Warriors search for their next victim. Those like Fallon, in possession of gifts, are hunted - and the time is coming when her true nature, her identity as The One, can no longer be hidden. In a mysterious shelter in the forest, her training is about to begin under the guidance of Mallick, whose skills have been honed over centuries.

Story
It began on New Year's Eve. The sickness came on suddenly, and spread quickly. The fear spread even faster. Within weeks, everything people counted on began to fail them. The electrical grid sputtered; law and government collapsed - and more than half of the world's population was decimated. Where there had been order, there was now chaos. And as the power of science and technology receded, magic rose up in its place. Some of it is good, like the witchcraft worked by Lana Bingham, practicing in the loft apartment she shares with her lover, Max.

Story
Once upon a time, in a parallel universe, there existed the continent of Triton. The land was filled with beauty, but it was also splintered by war. Out of the chaos grew a conspiracy to reawaken the Beast, a fearsome creature who wrought only tragedy and devastation. The only way to stop him was to fulfill an ancient prophecy: Triton’s four strongest warriors must wed its four most powerful witches, binding all nations together and finally bringing peace to the land.

Story
It was a typical evening at a mall outside Portland, Maine. Three teenage friends waited for the movie to start. A boy flirted with the girl selling sunglasses. Then the shooters arrived. The chaos and carnage lasted only eight minutes before the killers were taken down. But one person wasn't satisfied with the shockingly high death toll at the DownEast Mall. And as the survivors slowly heal, find shelter, and rebuild, they will discover that another conspirator is lying in wait - and this time, there might be nowhere safe to hide.

Publisher's Summary
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Year One and Of Blood and Bone concludes her stunning new trilogy praised as "A match for end-of-the-world classics like Stephen King’s The Stand."
After the sickness known as the Doom destroyed civilization, magick has become commonplace, and Fallon Swift has spent her young years learning its ways. Fallon cannot live in peace until she frees those who have been preyed upon by the government or the fanatical Purity Warriors, endlessly hunted or locked up in laboratories, brutalized for years on end. She is determined to save even those who have been complicit with this evil out of fear or weakness - if, indeed, they can be saved.
Strengthened by the bond she shares with her fellow warrior, Duncan, Fallon has already succeeded in rescuing countless shifters and elves and ordinary humans. Now she must help them heal - and rediscover the light and faith within themselves. For although from the time of her birth, she has been The One, she is still only one. And as she faces down an old nemesis, sets her sights on the enemy’s stronghold, and pursues her destiny - to finally restore the mystical shield that once protected them all - she will need an army behind her...
PLEASE NOTE: This is the abridged edition. An unabridged version is also available.

Infantile
The 1st book in this series was great. It took an entirely different spin on the apocalypse genre that was fresh and entertaining. The 2nd book didn’t mesh with the 1st. I actually had to go back and read a little of book 1 to try and remember where the characters were in the story. This 3rd book? The whole Light and Dark thing reads like a children’s fairy tail. I couldn’t even get past chapter 5. The book gets 2 stars overall because of the narrator.

Fairly basic and rushed compare to the other books
it's ok. Everything is always okay, so it's a bit boring. Reads like a young adult novel, maybe it is? I don't remember it being though.
feels like she was just ready to be done with the storyline in this one. Everything gets wrapped up in a nice little bow with no conflict or real story.

Awesome!!
I started listening to the first book, and was hooked. The story line, the characters so well developed, the pain, joy, hope, sorrow, evil, goodness and finally LOVE, made this an exceptional tale. I found myself chuckling, gasping and wiping away tears as I journeyed with the cast of New Hope to the finish. The narration is SO well done! It greatly contributed to the utter enjoyment of this listening experiece, bringing the characters to vivid life! It certainly is well worth the listen!
