Optimism flourished as humanity teetered on\u003cbr\u003e the edge of the old order, ready to explode into the new.\u003cbr\u003e Slowly, however, the darker side of human nature once again\u003cbr\u003e manifested itself. The quest for power became paramount to all else;\u003cbr\u003e territorial politics and class battles became the cry of the day. Dreams\u003cbr\u003e of the perfect world began to fade.\u003cbr\u003e These struggles saw many groups fall from the political landscape.\u003cbr\u003e Those practicing any form of religion beyond a strict Humanism were\u003cbr\u003e deemed heretical and a danger to the State. Many religions that had\u003cbr\u003e one time populated Earth were gone or had assimilated into one of\u003cbr\u003e various sects of Humanism. Those professing the Christian faith\u003cbr\u003e became outcasts. Under heavy persecution, they were forced to practice\u003cbr\u003e their faith in secret underground enclaves. Their persecutors were\u003cbr\u003e determined to finish the Christian genocide that had begun thousands\u003cbr\u003e of years earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 348\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.72 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 09, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42109640573063,"sku":"9781640882973","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/c8f2d025124a2b760306277b7792bb22.webp?v=1732477305","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/chronicles-of-the-hedge-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
