The Returning

They say the Awakening is coming. That she’s the key. But can she find her identity in the light Before she perishes in the dark? Twenty years have passed since Carrington and Remko Brant’s baby, Elise, was kidnapped and they were forced to leave her captive in the Authority City. Though they fled with the Seers far from Authority reach, they’ve never given up hope of rescuing their daughter from the man who betrayed them. Now Authority President, he’s ushered the city into a new era of “peace”—one where the Scientist Roth Reynard’s Genesis Serum has eradicated all memory of emotion or rebellion. But the mysterious Aaron and his Seers are once again on the move, threatening the illusion the Authority has worked so hard to build. As the Seers send seven chosen warriors to rescue Elise and bring restoration to the Authority City, the lines are drawn for a final battle between light and darkness. The key to ultimate victory may rest within the strangely powerful girl who has felt forgotten but was never abandoned—a truth she’ll need to wage war against the powerful forces of evil.

This book starts out 20 years after The Calling when Elise, (Carrington and Remko's daughter) was taken. Seven warriors are chosen by the Seers to get Elise back and take over Authority City. This is the ultimate good vs. evil battle. I was really disappointed in this book. I really enjoyed the first 2 in the series, and they were somewhat religious, but this one was too much for me. I also did not like the fact that it took 20 years to go get Elise back. I thought it should have picked up where The Calling left off. I received a copy of this book from Edelweiss.
