{"product_id":"the-darkest-path-1","title":"The Darkest Path","description":"USA Today bestselling author Jeff Hirsch once again creates a futuristic world with stunning, dramatic realism.\nFor the last several years, a civil war has raged between the Glorious Path - a militant religion based on the teachings of a former US soldier - and what's left of the US government. The Glorious Path seeks complete control of the country, and those they capture are given the Choice: convert or be killed.\nFifteen-year-old Cal and his younger brother were captured and forced to convert five years ago. Cal gets along until he befriends a stray dog named Bear, and then kills a commander who wants to train Bear to be a brutal attack dog. This sends Cal and Bear on the run and sets in motion a series of events that will test Cal's loyalties and beliefs, ending in a brutal battle that the fate of the entire country rests on.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0545512239\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0545512239.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hirsch, Jeff\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44273167007805,"sku":"BVV.0545512239.VG","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0545512239-0.jpg?v=1793655481","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/the-darkest-path-1","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
