The Prophet of Yonwod

First edition, 2006
Third book in the Book of Ember series, functioning as a prequel set in the years before the underground city was built. In a small North Carolina town, a woman's apocalyptic vision becomes the basis for a growing religious movement that begins to enforce conformity and silence dissent. The novel provides the backstory for the world that produced Ember. The most overtly religious and politically critical of the four books.
