Sovereign - Ted Dekker

Nine years after Rom Sebastian was thrust into the most unlikely of
circumstances as hero and bearer of an unimaginable secret, the alliance
of his followers is in disarray.
An epic battle with The Order has
left them scattered and deeply divided both in strategy and resolve in
their struggle to become truly alive and free.

Only 49 truly
alive followers remain loyal to Rom. This meager band must fight for
survival as The Order is focused on their total annihilation.
Misunderstood and despised, their journey will be one of desperation
against a new,
more intensely evil Order.
As the hand of this evil is
raised to strike and destroy them they must rely on their faith in the
abiding power of love to overcome all and lead them to sovereignty.

SOVEREIGN wonderfully continues the new testament allegory that was introduced in FORBIDDEN and continued in MORTAL.
