About This Book

In the aftermath of the Rapture, the world has been stripped of certainty, and the people left behind are desperate for direction. Azul Dante steps forward as exactly that—a magnetic, compelling figure who promises salvation and a path through the chaos. But for seven ordinary men and women drawn into his orbit, the journey toward his promised land begins to cost more than they bargained for. Genesis asks a question that cuts deep: when hope is the only thing you have left, how carefully do you examine the hands offering it?

Abraham and Hart open this first installment of the Prodigal Project series with a pace that keeps pages turning, building a world that feels both fantastical and uncomfortably recognizable. The ensemble structure works in the story's favor, allowing readers to experience the same unfolding events through sharply different perspectives and moral frameworks. The writing is direct and propulsive without sacrificing character depth, and the authors prove skilled at sustaining tension not through action alone but through the slow, creeping unease of watching people choose to believe in something—and wondering when that choice will break them.
