Endure (Paperback)

Endure Book One

"Immortality ends with a few drops of blood..."

Seventeen-year-old Justin's anemic blood is a blessing. Or a curse. It all depends on who you ask.

In the Post-Collapse world where the immortal Vie lord over the rapidly diminishing humans, Anemies like Justin and his sister are rabidly sought after. Their blood is a drug--and a scourge. Justin's blood causes the Vie to age--a priceless hope for the Earth's downtrodden humans.

When Justin's sister is kidnapped by the Vie, he strikes a deal with the human resistance, but they're nothing more than a cult with delusions that a messianic Anemie will free them all. They believe that person is Justin. Justin thinks they'll need someone a lot stronger than an anemic kid who can't run twenty feet without getting dizzy. Between saving what's left of humanity and saving his sister, Justin can't decide which will get him killed first.
