The City of Refuge: Veronica Journey Iii (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781796091977)

After the epic battle with the Shermanites at the end of the previous novel, the Pope Sherman is after them. They have to head out of the country and make it to Australia which is the only safe place. Their first stop is in Britain where they hold a funeral and collect survivors with no memories. Then they head to Spain and collect more survivors and have to face storms made of ash and soot. They soon head to Peru where they meet Shaddrach's former lover, Michal. She will be the new villain with her secret power of subtle mind-control. They adventure to Africa where they get trapped fighting Bleeders. Dangerous creatures that bleed a cement-like substance and melt in sunlight. After surviving all of this, Veronica is betrayed by Michal, and she ditches them to stay in Korea in a giant castle where she has to overcome impossible obstacles, tests and mazes by using her knowledge of religious history and getting inside of the Pope's head to uncover clues, which lead her to magical gems that she can use to enhance her powers or help the others. Meanwhile, the rest of the characters settle down in Australia, assuming political roles over this last makeshift excuse for a civilization. The Pope threatens to make his way to Australia to capture Veronica and use her powers to get stronger. Everyone must join together for this epic battle, and their only hope is that they are all left in the dark about the tasks of their friends. The only way this plan works is if everyone is given their assignments in secret whilst being ignorant of the other people's assignments and missions. If one fails, they all fail and that means Sherman will win.
