(Young Adult category) / 2016 Christy Award Finalist (First novel category)Like all citizens since the Ruining, Carrington Hale knows the importance of this day. But she never expected the moment she’d spent a lifetime preparing for—her Choosing ceremony—to end in disaster. Ripped from her family, she’ll spend her days serving as a Lint, the lowest level of society. She knows it’s her duty to follow the true way of the Authority. But as Carrington begins this nightmare, rumors of rebellion rattle her beliefs. Though the whispers contradict everything she’s been told, they resonate deep within. Then Carrington is offered an unprecedented chance at the life she’s always dreamed of, yet she can’t shake the feeling that it may be an illusion. With a killer targeting Lints and corruption threatening the highest levels of the Authority, Carrington must uncover the truth before it destroys her.The Remko Brant had never been so sure of anything as escaping the Authority City with Carrington Hale. But bravado comes easy when you have nothing to lose. Now a husband, father, and the tactical leader of the Seers, Remko has never had so much at risk. As he and his team execute increasingly dangerous rescue missions inside the city, they face growing peril from a new enemy. Recently appointed Authority President Damien Gold claims to be guiding a city shaken by rebellion into a peaceful, harmonious future. But appearances can be deceiving. In order to achieve his dangerous ambitions, Gold knows he must do more than catch the rebels—he must destroy the hope their message represents . . . from the inside out. With dissension in his own camp—and the CityWatch soldiers closing in—Remko feels control slipping through his fingers. To protect those he loves, he must conquer his fears and defeat Gold . . . before one of them becomes his undoing.The Twenty years have passed since Carrington and Remko Brant’s baby, Elise, was kidnapped and they were forced to leave her captive in the Authority City. Though they fled with the Seers far from Authority reach, they’ve never given up hope of rescuing their daughter from the man who betrayed them. Now Authority President, he’s ushered the city into a new era of “peace”—one where the Scientist Roth Reynard’s Genesis Serum has eradicated all memory of emotion or rebellion. But the mysterious Aaron and his Seers are once again on the move, threatening the illusion the Authority has worked so hard to build. As the Seers send seven chosen warriors to rescue Elise and bring restoration to the Authority City, the lines are drawn for a final battle between light and darkness. The key to ultimate victory may rest within the strangely powerful girl who has felt forgotten but was never abandoned—a truth she’ll need to wage war against the powerful forces of evil.

Reviews

The art of remembering and forgetting. This series is so hard for me to review, because I have such different opinions on each of the stories within the series. I would like to start by saying the main theme is good, important, and true. How God sees us is important above all else, and we need to remember that, not get caught up in our insecurities. I felt like the first two stories were really long prequels to the third story.
The first book was ok. I liked Carrington and Remko. The “religious” man freaked me out, but the dystopian story was interesting.
The second book was hard for me to get through. I had trouble staying interested in the story and found myself frustrated with Remko and Carrington. I wanted to finish the series together so I kept reading, and I did enjoy the ending. I was glad I could read the last book right away though.
The third book was great. I was better able to appreciate the characters having read the first two stories. The third book seems to better tell what the first two books are trying to say.

Beautiful Light

"Faith is a cycle of forgetting & remembering" ... such a simple yet powerful truth & perfect to carry away from this story

The characters are engaging, the truths reverberate deeply, and the story pulls you along through every twist & turn in a new yet classic story of good conquers all evil. A new favorite that I'm sure to revisit & an author I'll seek out again for another adventure.

This Trilogy is a cleverly written Dystopian saga. The characters develop, at times a bit too slowly, but the reader’s attention and imagination are kept. This work is better compared to The Giver Quartet, as both have strong Christian analogies running through them. I recommend this series to anyone loving Dystopian stories and analogies.

Very imaginative Dystopian world with deep truths. Change the way I see certain things in this world. Bravo Ms. Dekker!

Awesome!

Definitely a good read. All about hope. Great imagery about the battle between light and darkness. Found it hard to put down at the end.
