"Thought-provoking, relevant and suspenseful, The End Begins is a must-read." -ROMANTIC TIMES, 4 1/2 Stars, Top Pick
When your beliefs are at war, does love stand a chance?
Bookstore owner Meryn O'Reilly and Army Captain Jesse Christensen are on opposite sides of a battle. After a series of terrorist attacks in 2053, martial law has been declared in Canada and the military has taken over. When a radical Christian group claims responsibility, Jesse and his platoon are sent to Meryn's city to keep an eye on the Christians and ensure they are not stepping outside the confines of the law.
Fiery and quick-tempered, Meryn chafes under the curfew and other restrictions to her freedom. Jesse is equally amused, intrigued, and terrified by her spirit. She could find herself in prison if she shows defiance to the wrong soldier, namely Lieutenant Gallagher.
Jesse watches out for Meryn when possible, although she wants nothing to do with him. His worst fears are realized when she commits a crime he cannot protect her from. Now they both face an uncertain future and the very real threat of losing everything, including their lives. With time running out, Jesse works feverishly to convince the authorities to show leniency to Meryn. And to convince her that love can overcome any barrier that lies between them.
"The first book in Davison's Seven trilogy grips the reader from page one and holds on until the very end. Meryn O'Reilly is a believable character, and-though dreadful-the story is plausible. The events unfold in a forward-moving way that allows readers to sympathize with Meryn and Jesse and understand the dilemmas they face. Thought-provoking, relevant and suspenseful, The End Begins is a must-read." -ROMANTIC TIMES, 4 1/2 Stars, Top Pick
"What would you do if the government outlawed the Bible? The End Begins depicts the response of a bookstore owner, the army captain duty-bound to arrest her if she breaks the law, and the family, friends and enemies in their lives. It's a compelling and scary read you won't soon forget." -SANDRA ORCHARD, Author of the Award-Winning Port Aster Secrets series
"Sara Davison takes 'what if' to a chilling level that is all too real. Yet wrapped in love, both human and divine, this novel gives us hope. Book Two can't come out soon enough." -NANCY RUE, Author of One Last Thing and The Merciful Scar
