It is two generations after the Dying, and John Roy Mench - husband, father, son of a preacher - is thriving in this new and primitive age. As his tattered copy of the scriptures puts it, he lives under his own vine and fig tree.
But when another plague threatens, John Roy packs up everyone he loves and sets out on the road where he soon finds that what awaits him there is just as brutal, just as deadly as any disease of the body.
Blood Bound is a story of a patriarch’s faithfulness in the midst of suffering and courage in the face of violent death. But more than these, it is a story of this patriarch’s God, the story of severe and irresistible grace.
