An epic tale of hope and horror, chaos and magic, and a journey that will unite a desperate group of people to fight the battle of their lives …
With one drop of blood, the old world is gone for ever. And in its place, something extraordinary begins ...
They call it The Doom - a deadly pandemic that starts on a cold New Year's Eve in the Scottish countryside. There's something mysterious about the virus and the way it spreads. As billions fall sick and die, some survivors find themselves invested with strange, unexpected abilities.
Lana, a New York chef, has the power to move things and people with her will. Fred can summon light in the darkness. Jonah, a paramedic, sees snatches of the future in those he touches. Katie gives birth to twins, and suspects that she has brought fresh magic into the world, along with new life.
But The Doom affects people differently. Along with the light, a dark and terrifying magic will also rise. As the remaining authorities round up the immune and the 'Uncannies' for testing, Lana, Katie and others flee New York in search of a safe haven. The old world is over, and Year One has begun.
'Electric and ground-breaking. A fast-paced, mesmerising and thought-provoking novel that will no doubt add to Roberts' legions of fans.'
