The first book in the stunning Blood of the Lamb trilogy, full of action, suspense and drama.

The Crossing is the first book in a stunning trilogy that follows the fate of Maryam and her unlikely companions - Joseph, Ruth and Lazarus. This is fast, suspenseful drama underpinned by a powerful and moving story about love and loss.

The people of Onewere, a small island in the Pacific, know that they are special - chosen to survive the deadly event that consumed the Earth. Now, from the rotting cruise ship Star of the Sea, the elite control the population - manipulating old texts to set themselves up as living 'gods'.

But what the people of Onewere don't know is this- the leaders will stop at nothing to meet their own blood-thirsty needs...

When Maryam crosses from child to woman, she must leave everything she has ever known and make a crossing of another kind. But life inside the ship is not as she had dreamed, and she is faced with the unthinkable- obey the leaders and very likely die, or turn her back on every belief she once held dear.

'Like 1984 for teenagers - direct, passionate and powerful' - Margaret Mahy.

Winner of the NZ Post Book Award for YA fiction 2010.
