CHRONICLES OF THE ONE TRILOGY

YEAR ONE

“In power and poignancy, this segment of YEAR ONE is a match for end-of-the-world classics like Stephen King’s The Stand...” – New York Times 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. With nothing left to count on but each other, Lana and Max make their way out of a wrecked New York City. At the same time, other travelers are heading west too, into a new frontier. Chuck, a tech genius trying to hack his way through a world gone offline. Arlys, a journalist who has lost her audience but uses pen and paper to record the truth. And Rachel and Jonah, a resourceful doctor and a paramedic who fend off despair with their determination to keep a young mother and three infants in their care alive. In a world of survivors where every stranger encountered could be either a savage or a savior, none of them knows exactly where they are heading, or why. But a purpose awaits them that will shape their lives and the lives of all those who remain. The end has come. The beginning comes next.

OF BLOOD AND BONE

“Roberts continues her apocalyptic Chronicles of The One with a mesmerizing follow up that is bold and breathtaking… meeting the next generation and watching the heroine grow into her powers and leadership is enthralling.” – Kirkus It looks like an ordinary life, an everyday family: chores to be done, squabbling at the dinner table, a basketball game or a swim in the nearby stream. But beyond the edges of this peaceful farm, the world has changed. Traveling anywhere now is a danger, as vicious gangs of Raiders and fanatics called Purity Warriors search for their next victim. Those like Fallon Swift, in possession of gifts, are hunted—and as her thirteenth birthday looms, her true nature, her identity as The One, can no longer be hidden.

Now the time has come for Fallon to walk away from her home, into a mysterious shelter in the forest where her training can begin. Under the guidance of Mallick, whose skills have been honed over centuries, she will complete three quests. For two years, in the idyllic hideaway of their cottage, she must study and spar with

her mentor, come to understand the forces of the light, the magicks of faerie and elf and shifter. But the time is coming when she must face the darkness, too—for the sake of the family she left behind, and all those who have placed their hope and faith in The One.

RISE OF MAGICKS

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...
