Description

SHORT-LISTED: Aurealis Awards, Best Young Adult Novel, 2019 After a battle that broke hearts, minds, and bodies, two friends find themselves on opposite sides of the same quest. Shattered by the discovery that she is not at all who or what she believed, Eve joins forces with her new 'siblings'. Meanwhile, Lemon finds a sense of belonging - perhaps even love - in an enclave of other genetic deviates. But with friends and enemies, heroes and villains, wearing interchangeable faces, nothing is as it seems. Soon, Eve and Lemon are racing against each other to find a missing girl whose DNA may hold the key to saving or destroying their broken world. 'It is every kind of badass.' Laini Taylor, author of the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy 'I freaking love this book.' Kiersten White, New York Times bestselling author of And I Darken

Jay Kristoff is a #1 international, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of fantasy and science fiction. He is the winner of eight Aurealis Awards, an ABIA, has over half a million books in print and is published in over thirty-five countries, most of which he has never visited. He is as surprised about all of this as you are. He is 6'7" and has approximately 11,500 days to live. He does not believe in happy endings.

'Full to the brim with that mad storm of emotions that only Jay Kristoff knows how to deliver.' The Booktopian 'With its ruined desert landscapes, and cast of super-powered artificial humans, cybernetic bounty hunters and chatty robots, the novel reads like a crazed mash-up of Blade Runner, Paradise Lost, X-Men, Mad Max and everything in between. The result is a wildly entertaining, a highly coloured and propulsive journey through the ruined landscapes of a nightmarish future California.' Weekend Australian
