Twenty years have passed since Manna A. Huizar sang the Word back into the foundations of the earth. The "Famine" is a ghost story told to children, and the silver-inked Bibles are now the bedrock of a global spiritual peace. Manna and Canaan Ozz have retired to the quiet shadows of Von Ormy, raising their twins, Seth and Selah, in the safety of the "Sabbath." ​But the twins are not ordinary children. Born from the union of the High Sentinel and the Sword of Light, they carry the Living Script not just on their skin, but in their very blood. Seth possesses his father's protective fire, while Selah hears the "Song" of every living soul she encounters. ​The New Threat: The Collective of the Void A new power has emerged from the dark web of the global consciousness-The Collective. Led by a charismatic figure known only as The Editor, this group believes that the "Unbound Word" is too chaotic for a modern world. They have developed a biological "Patch"-a neural implant that "cleanses" the spiritual frequency of the human mind, replacing the silver light of the Word with a sterile, perfect logic. ​When the Collective begins "editing" the faith of the Remnant, Seth and Selah realize that their parents' peace is a fragile glass house. As Manna's light begins to fade with age, the twins must step out of the porch-light of Von Ormy and into a world that has forgotten the cost of its freedom. ​From the neon-soaked streets of New Tokyo to the ancient ruins of the Levant, the heirs of the Sentinel must decide: Will they merely protect the Word their parents recovered, or will they become the new Song that the world is dying to hear? ​"For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off..." - Acts 2:39
