The Reverence Trilogy

Kira Liebert works contentedly within Vita Nova's Volunteer Program, granting condemned citizens their final wishes before execution — until young Will Foster volunteers to die and requests something unusual: he wants to spend his Final Week with Kira.

What follows is a journey beyond the barricade into the lawless Unregulated Zone that destroys every belief Kira holds about the system she has dedicated her life to serving.

The series opener is a tense, romantic, and genuinely original dystopian premise that pulls readers in immediately.

Having escaped Vita Nova with Will and young Teddy, Kira searches the Unregulated Zone for other survivors and a place to call home — finding a hidden community called Haven led by the mysterious Ghost, whose secrets could unravel everything Kira has begun to hope for.

When Haven is brutally attacked, Kira faces impossible choices between protecting those she loves and securing any kind of future.

Book 2 raises the stakes considerably and deepens the romance alongside the political danger.

Teddy is taken by Vita Nova's Patrol, forcing Kira back inside the walls she barely escaped — where she is captured, imprisoned, and given a devastating new identity as the secret daughter of Vita Nova's most powerful man.

Meanwhile, Ghost launches a desperate rescue from the wilderness, and Will fights from the other side of the wall, as the clock counts down to Kira's execution.

The trilogy's concluding volume delivers the series' most intense action and a heartfelt resolution to every thread Rood has been building.
