And Mara is his new apprentice. The Messenger sees the darkness in human hearts-the destructive lies, the cruelty, the bullying, the violence. He offers the wicked a game. If they win, they go free. If they lose, they will live their greatest fear. Either way, their sanity will be challenged. It is a world of fair but harsh justice. If the world does not bring justice to those who do evil, the Messenger will. What has Mara done to deserve this terrible fate? She won"t find out until three of the wicked receive justice. Michael Grant, author of the New York /"ones bestselling Gone series, has created a powerful and brilliant narrative that examines the nature of good and evil in every human.
