PESTILENCE

The Four Horsemen: Book 1 by Laura Thalassa

#Best of BookTok

They came to end the world. And Pestilence came first.

WHEN THE APOCALYPSE RIDES IN

When the horseman rides into Sara's town, death is inevitable. Everyone she loves is marked — until she does the impossible and shoots him.

For a moment, hope flickers. It doesn't last.

Pestilence cannot be killed.

And now, furious and very much alive, he takes Sara captive — determined to make her suffer for her defiance.

But the longer she travels beside him, the more the lines blur between hatred and something far more dangerous. Beneath the sickness and cruelty, Sara begins to see the truth behind the monster.

And worse… she feels him seeing her too.

Saving the world may still be possible.
But it will cost Sara everything — including her heart.

THE FOUR HORSEMEN SERIES

1. Pestilence — The First Horseman

2. War — The Second Horseman

3. Famine — The Third Horseman

4. Death — The Fourth Horseman

Each book follows a different horseman and can be read as a standalone, but the series is best enjoyed in order.

WHAT MAKES THIS UNFORGETTABLE

Laura Thalassa crafts a world where the apocalypse isn't just destruction — it's a reckoning. Pestilence isn't a villain; he's a force of nature with a mission. Sara isn't a damsel; she's a survivor who refuses to bow.

Their journey across a dying world becomes a battle of wills, beliefs, and ultimately, hearts. Every conversation challenges what it means to be human. Every touch defies destiny itself.
