The games continue in New York Times bestselling author Michael
Grant's sequel to Messenger of Fear--a haunting tale for fans of
Stephen King that combines fantasy with real-world horror stories.
Mara has learned to punish the wicked as the Messenger's apprentice.
Those who act out of selfishness and greed, and others who become
violent because of prejudice and hate, pay the ultimate price. But Mara
is constantly reminded that Messengers are serving their own kind of
punishment--for every person who is offered justice, they wear a tattoo
that symbolizes the heart of the crime. As Mara delves deeper into her
harsh reality she will discover that in spite of all the terror she and
Messenger inflict, caring in this world is the hardest part of all.
