A riveting middlegrade dystopian novel from New York Times
bestselling Wake author Lisa McMann that Kirkus Reviews calls "The
Hunger Games meets Harry Potter." Every year in Quill,
thirteen-year-olds are sorted into categories: the strong,
intelligent Wanteds go to university, and the artistic Unwanteds
are sent to their deaths. Thirteen-year-old Alex tries his hardest
to be stoic when his fate is announced as Unwanted, even while
leaving behind his twin, Aaron, a Wanted. Upon arrival at the
destination where he expected to be eliminated, however, Alex
discovers a stunning secret--behind the mirage of the "death farm"
there is instead a place called Artime. In Artime, each child is
taught to cultivate their creative abilities and learn how to use
them magically, weaving spells through paintbrushes and musical
instruments. Everything Alex has ever known changes before his
eyes, and it's a wondrous transformation. But it's a rare, unique
occurence for twins to be separated between Wanted and Unwanted,
and as Alex and Aaron's bond stretches across their separation, a
threat arises for the survival of Artime that will pit brother
against brother in an ultimate, magical battle.
The fate of Artime is at stake--and an unlikely alliance could
redeem it--in book three in the "New York Times "bestselling
Unwanteds series.
The magical world of Artime is gone. The Unwanteds have no food, no
water, and no hope. And everyone is looking to Alex Stowe for
answers.
Overwhelmed and feeling totally helpless, Alex knows it's up to him
to find a way to restore Artime, rescue his captive friends, and
free Megan from her voice-stealing necklace of thorns--three
impossible tasks. But could help lie with the silent, orange-eyed
newcomers?
Meanwhile, in the stark land of Quill, Alex's twin brother Aaron
continues to build his army, preparing for the ultimate showdown
with the Unwanteds. But a shocking twist reveals that Alex and
Aaron share a common enemy more dangerous than either could have
imagined...
Ten years after Alex and Aaron Stowe brought peace to Quill and
Artime, their younger twin sisters journey beyond Artime in the

Harry Potter." Artime is at war. Led by the reckless new head mage,
Frieda Stubbs, and swayed by her stoking their fear of the
Revinir's return, the people of Artime have turned against the
Stowe family. Aaron and his allies are captured while Fifer is left
exposed to mortal danger. Thisbe and the team of black-eyed
children from Grimere journey to Artime to help, leaving Dev behind
to fend for himself against the increasingly powerful Revinir.

her relationship with Fifer continues its downward spiral. When
things are at their bleakest and everything is on the line, Fifer

questions his readiness for, until circumstances offer a dramatic

path. Devastated by his loss of status after Justine's defeat and
