The sequel to Obsidian Hourglass, 1260 begins the morning after the world changes forever. The abomination of desolation has occurred. The sacrifices in Jerusalem have stopped. The global Covenant Assembly is tightening its grip, and the final 1260 days of human history have begun. In Mahdia, Atalia - isolated, sealed, and trapped in a marriage strained by faith and fear - documents the collapse of the old world one day at a time.
As enforcement directives spread and noncompliant citizens lose access to banking, medicine, movement, and safety, she clings to the only things she has left: scripture, routine, underground believers, and the manuscript she is desperate to finish before time runs out. Meanwhile, in Toronto, her estranged daughter Emmaline is trying to build a normal life with her husband while ignoring the prophecies that shaped her childhood.
But as the systems around her begin to change - and pieces of her mother's voice begin finding their way back to her - Emmaline is forced to confront the terrifying possibility that Atalia was right all along. Intimate, haunting, and deeply human, 1260 is an apocalyptic novel about faith under pressure, impossible choices, fractured families, and the quiet endurance required to survive the end of the world.
