Description

Will Thula be able to save her people from total annihilation?

As a young Haloti fairy living on top of a maple tree, Thula is counting down the days until she reaches adulthood. Her whole life changes when a Grimmox fairy breeches the long-standing peace treaty by crossing their border. Thula isn't content to watch the destruction of her world and volunteers for a new military program to counter the incursion. But once in training, she learns the program isn't about defense at all. It's about war, and all of the Haloti people are at risk of annihilation.

Thula must look to the most unlikely of allies, the Grimmox, to save their world. But they refuse to fight as it goes against everything they believe. After receiving a vision from the sons of God, she learns this is their last chance to make peace. She was raised by the Haloti, but now sees the world through the eyes of the Grimmox, and is the only one they can trust with this task. If she fails, God will erase the Haloti and Grimmox from the planet. She only has one day to unite them all.

Advance Praise

Embroiled in the enrapturing, suspenseful story of The Final Offering are the important themes of race, greed, power and misinformation. And in Thula we have a perfect model of how structures of power, authority and information itself should be approached; with healthy criticism, independent thought and resourcefulness. This is why Thula is such a likable character; she is who we wish we could be in the face of power gone mad. She is just as imperfect and powerless as we sometimes feel but she doesn't let it decide for her. From the first page we are thrust into this very warmhearted, intriguing universe of beautiful people with their own culture, traditions and narratives that never cease to delight and satisfy our thirst for novelty. J.G. Gatewood's The Final Offering is thrilling, absorbing and heartwarming. Taking this journey with Thula and seeing where it leads is one of the most satisfying moments in literature I have ever encountered; goose bumps, tension and sweet release. Beautiful work! - Sandy Masia from Reader's Favorite
