Synopsis

The Explosive Sequel to the International Bestseller, THE FAITHFUL. For decades, I Fidele’s soulless leaders kidnapped psychic children and sharpened their gifts into weapons used to reshape humanity. Ryanne Jervis was one such child, but she learned the truth too late to stop I Fidele from implementing the first part of their plan: global destruction and the incineration of millions of innocent lives. Now the impact winter has come, cloaking the earth in smoke, cold—and silence. Isolated on a compound in the mountains of Colorado, Ryanne is haunted by visions of the second phase of I Fidele’s new world order: the round-up and brutal internment of all survivors. Seeking absolution for their part in the fall of humanity, and determined to save those who remain, Ryanne’s small group of Blasphemare must turn I Fidele’s most prized weapon—their own children—against them.

"S.M. Freedman's The Faithful is a book of mind-blowing depth, delving into humanity at its creepiest and yet also soaring to the sweetest heights of hope and love."
--Hannah Sullivan, author of Thunder and Five Weeks: A Lifetime
"Freedman's writing is lean, mean and pacy; this girl knows about technical stuff I can't even begin to imagine. The depth of her knowledge on dirty great surveillance telescopes, past life regression techniques and any number of police procedures is very impressive. Somehow she manages to deliver complex plots, high-octane action and characters you just know you have met before. Stunning stuff. This story and these characters will stay with you for a very long time - all the way until you read the sequel!"
-- Jacky Gray, author of the Hengist - People of the Horse series
 
"This is a novel of breathtaking scope and reach. So many elements come together to create a rare synthesis of craft and artistry: characters with dimension and depth; language that flows and resonates; a plot that's intricate and accessible at the same time. I found hanging on to every word effortless."
--Jennifer Skutelsky, author of Tin Can Shrapnel and Grave of Hummingbirds
 
"The Faithful was brilliant. The character development was spot on, and some of the prose even reminded me of the King of horror himself--StephenKing." 
--The Dark Corner blog
 
"A riveting, captivating and well-written tale."
--Rockin' Book Reviews
 
"The ease with which she writes is amazing and engrossing."
--McWood Publishing
