But both disease and human enemies pursue them, and their only hope for survival is a rebel leader. and medical secrets that lie hidden in an ancient manuscript.
Seven hundred years later, Dr. Janie Crowe is searching for the cure for a crippling disease in a world where genetic engineering has gone mad.
