“Not to be missed!” —Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling
author of The Lunar Chronicles
“An explosion of emotion, intrigue, romance, and revolution.”
—Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Caraval
series
In the tradition of The Lunar Chronicles, this sweeping reimagining of
Les Misérables tells the story of three teens from very different
backgrounds who are thrown together amidst the looming threat of
revolution on the French planet of Laterre.
A thief.
An officer.
A guardian.
Three strangers, one shared destiny…
When the Last Days came, the planet of Laterre promised hope. A new
life for a wealthy French family and their descendants. But five
hundred years later, it’s now a place where an extravagant elite class
reigns supreme; where the clouds hide the stars and the poor starve in
the streets; where a rebel group, long thought dead, is resurfacing.
Whispers of revolution have begun—a revolution that hinges on three
unlikely heroes…
Chatine is a street-savvy thief who will do anything to escape the
brutal Regime, including spy on Marcellus, the grandson of the most
powerful man on the planet.
Marcellus is an officer—and the son of an infamous traitor. In training
to take command of the military, Marcellus begins to doubt the
government he’s vowed to serve when his father dies and leaves behind a
cryptic message that only one person can read: a girl named Alouette.
Alouette is living in an underground refuge, where she guards and
protects the last surviving library on the planet. But a shocking
murder will bring Alouette to the surface for the first time in twelve
years…and plunge Laterre into chaos.
All three have a role to play in a dangerous game of revolution—and
together they will shape the future of a planet.
A woman's unexpected connection to a nineteenth-century writer
changes her life in the new novel from the author of "Crossing
Washington Square"
Clara Fitzgerald's recent losses have set her adrift, personally
and professionally. Remembering the stories her mother used to tell
her, Clara decides to research her ancestry-only to uncover an
extraordinary link to "Frankenstein" author Mary Shelley. With her
sister in tow and the help of Kay, a retired Shelley scholar, Clara
embarks on a search for the author's long lost journals and
letters. As a bond among the three women grows, and as the profound
connection between the past and present deepens, Clara comes closer
to realizing where her heart truly belongs.
A story of two strong-willed and passionate women who are compelled
to unite their senses and sensibilities, from the author of "The
Professors? Wives? Club."
Professor Diana Monroe is a highly respected scholar of Sylvia
Plath. Serious and aloof, she steadfastly keeps her mind on track.
Professor Rachel Grey is young and impulsive, with a penchant for
teaching relevant contemporary women's stories like "Bridget Jones?
Diary" and "The Devil Wears Prada," and for wearing her heart on
her sleeve.
The two conflicting personalities meet head-to-heart when Carson
McEvoy, a handsome and brilliant professor visiting from Harvard,
sets his eyes on "both" women and creates even more tension between
them. Now Diana and Rachel are slated to accompany an undergraduate
trip to London, where an almost life-threatening experience with a
student celebrity will force them to change their minds and heal
their hearts?together.
