Description

Inside the Dome, Partridge has taken his father's place as leader of the Pures. His struggle has led him here: he is intent upon bringing down the Dome from the inside, with the help of a secret resistance force. But things are not simple from his new position of power and he finds himself tempted by his father's words: perhaps if the world is to survive it needs the Dome - and Partridge - to rule it... As Partridge's resolve weakens, Pressia and Bradwell continue piecing together the clues left to them from the time before the Detonations. It is their hope that they will be able to heal the Wretches - to free them from their monstrous fusings and the Dome's oppression once and for all. But everything they struggle for depends on Partridge.

Author Biography

Julianna is an award-winning poet, novelist, and young adult writer. For years, she has been thinking about writing a futuristic dystopian novel about a society of Haves - the Pure, who escaped the apocalypse and live in an uncontaminated dome-covered city - and Have-nots - the wretched survivors who live in the nearly-destroyed outside world. BURN concludes the dystopian trilogy that was the result of that vision.

Reviews

A great, gorgeous novel, boundless in its imagination. You will be swept away. - Justin Cronin, New York Times bestselling author of The Passage Discomfiting and unforgettable. - The New York Times A post-apocalyptic thrill ride, filled with wildly inventive characters whose journey of struggle and revolution manifests as a fast-paced narrative full of promise and hope. As visceral and kinetic as it is socially relevant, PURE is bursting with imagination and epic adventure. Baggott is here to stay. And we are all the beneficiaries. - Steven Schneider, producer of Paranormal Activity I and II A dark adventure that is both startling and addictive at once. Pressia Belze is one part manga heroine and one part post-apocalyptic Alice, stranded in a surreal Wonderland where everyone and everything resonates with what has been lost. Breathtaking and frightening. I couldn't stop reading PURE. - Danielle Trussoni, bestselling author of ANGELOLOGY
