Description
In the second installment of the acclaimed “Kingdom” series, this novel turns to a world where technique governs daily life—and asks what remains when prayer, wonder, and moral attention are treated as obsolete. Through a sequence of encounters and shifting perspectives, the story follows characters who must decide whether faith can survive in a culture built for efficiency, control, and measurable outcomes. With its spare, incisive prose and philosophical edge, the book explores themes of belief and doubt, the limits of rational systems, and the human need for meaning beyond utility. As Tavares blends narrative momentum with meditation, readers are invited to consider whether prayer is a retreat from the modern world—or a radical way of seeing it.
