The Crossing: Blood of the Lamb Book 1
Call Number: MF HAG
The people of Onewere, a small island in the Pacific, have survived a deadly event that consumed the earth. Now, from a rotting cruise ship, the elite control the population, manipulating old texts to set themselves up as 'living gods'. When Mayam crosses from child to woman, she must leave everything she has ever known and make a crossing of another kind. But life inside the ship is not as she had dreamed, and she is faced with two choices: obey the leaders and very likely die, or turn her back on her beliefs.
Into the Wilderness: Blood of the Lamb Book 2
Call Number: MF HAG
Maryam, Ruth and Joseph have fled Onewere, reluctantly taking Joseph's troublesome cousin, Lazarus, as well. They arrive at their destination, Marawa Island, filled with hope for rescue and reprieve. But at first glance the island appears to be solely populated by birds. Perhaps the Apostle's dire warnings about the fall-out of the Tribulation were true after all.
Resurrection: Blood of the Lamb Book 3
Call Number: MF HAG
Maryam fights for her life, freedom and love in this thrilling finale to the Blood of the Lamb series. When Maryam arrives back at Onewēre and tries to loosen the Apostles’ religious stranglehold by sharing the miraculous remedy for Te Matee Iai, she finds herself captured once again — prey to the Apostles’ deadly game. Somehow Maryam must get the islanders to listen to her plea that they start thinking for themselves — hoping to stir the independence in their hearts, even as she finds herself on the brink of death
