At nineteen, Marisol never thought she would be a tracker of humans. In this post-apocalyptic world where justice is determined by a system of Absolution, Marisol steps up to do her duty. She hates everything that Absolution stands for, but there's nothing she can do about it. Nothing, that is, until one of her Runners turns out to be the key to uncovering a vast conspiracy that threatens to topple the dictator of New Chicago and change their lives forever. Absolution: A system of law in which young men and women, “Runners,” are paid bounties, or blood money, to become suspects in crimes committed by the wealthy. The way they are proven innocent? Evade, escape, and survive their hunters. "BLOOD RUNNERS: ABSOLUTION is the grittier, bastard spawn of THE HUNGER GAMES and WOOL, a noir-tinged, post-apocalyptic thriller that focuses on Marisol and Elias, members of a brutal new system of law enforcement who struggle to survive after uncovering a secret that threatens the power structure in New Chicago. Once I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down." -- Mark KRATTER, Producer Emergence Entertainment A Seppukarian Universe Spin-off Series.
