Description
A coalition of religious and corporate leaders band together to institute a new era of Reconstruction—herding the populous into dystopian communities controlled by cult leaders who regulate their religious, political, and ideological views.
With privacy being a thing of the past, A.I. technology track citizens’ every move, and anyone defying sect rules is mobbed, shamed, and gaslighted into submission.
Three best friends, Madeline Brown, Jazmine Wilson, and Jacques Dunbar are ensnared by the leaders of New Life of Hope, a religious cult with ties to underworld figures, The Troop, shadowy enforcers of the Circle of Nine, a secret society with power and reach across the globe.
Leaders of New Life of Hope will stop at nothing to indoctrinate the trio into their religious sect. The friends fight back with grit, strength, and wit, determined to expose the fascism sweeping the country.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"An attraction not just for leisure readers, but discussion groups looking to open dialogues about cults, followers, and methods of cult conversion that fly under the radar until they are too apparent to be denied ... and too strong to resist." Midwest Book Review
"An inside look into cultism and the deepening divides among political and racial prejudices, and religious indoctrination across all spectrums of American life." Readers' Favorite
"Longley’s engrossing latest novel offers a glimpse into a dystopian future in which the masses are controlled by cult leaders who regulate their religious, political, and ideological views. A new era of Reconstruction has begun." BookView Review

Kathryn M, Reviewer
Mary Longley does a great job in telling a story, I enjoyed how good the story was and it did everything that I was looking for. The characters were what I was expecting and they worked well in this universe. I enjoyed what was going on and thought the universe was interest and it worked in the genre.
"The hairs on the back of Maddy’s neck pricked again. Her senses were working overtime. Taking her eyes off the road momentarily, she glimpsed her rearview mirror. She’d seen the same black car trailing her when she left Jazz’s complex and again when she parked to call Jacques. The satanic brotherhood was following her. Maddy’s mood pivoted from shock and concern to red hot anger."
