Centers around Thorn, a neomage who gets her powers from stone, who is hidden among humans in a post-apocolyptic world. Seraphs have decended upon the world and destroyed most of civilization, followed by war against dark beings. Now the survivors aren't sure of what the Divine Powers expect or what religion is right, they all live in an uneasy peace, following strict rules against sin (or the seraphs could exact vengence) and in fear of demons that live underground and DO exist. The story starts when Thorn's ex-husband is kidnapped under mysterious circumstances and Thorn is determined to find thim. A cast of interesting friends and aquaintences surrounds her. A very well-imagined and detailed world, but I found myself with a lot less questions answered at the end of the book than I expected. Really big, obvious questions that I expected to have answered were not. It did not feel like a standalone book and I have to go get the sequel now because I'm still quite confused, but I enjoyed this because the world Faith Hunter created was fascinating.
