Description
The Book of Seila is about sisters, caught between a police state and biblical law.
Ruby Lambert is in hiding after escaping a brutal police redemption camp. For five years, she’s been wanted for murder, heresy, and abomination.
When her sister’s husband is killed, her sister becomes a suspect in his death. To save her, Ruby comes out of hiding to help her flee the southern Covenant States.
On their way north, the women are ambushed and separated. Thus begins the clash with a twisted and cloying web of true believers and informers in the small town of Wendell.
