From
theNew
York
Timesbestselling
author
ofStar
Wars:
Lost
StarsandBloodlinecomes
a
thrilling
sci-fi
adventure
that
Kass
Morgan,
bestselling
author
of
The
100
series,
calls
"startlingly
original
and
achingly
romantic...nothing
short
of
masterful."
She's
a
soldier--Noemi
Vidal
is
willing
to
risk
anything
to
protect
her
planet,
Genesis,
including
her
own
life.
To
their
enemies
on
Earth,
she's
a
rebel.
He's
a
machine--Abandoned
in
space
for
years,
utterly
alone,
Abel's
advanced
programming
has
begun
to
evolve.
He
wants
only
to
protect
his
creator,
and
to
be
free.
To
the
people
of
Genesis,
he's
an
abomination.
Noemi
and
Abel
are
enemies
in
an
interstellar
war,
forced
by
chance
to
work
together
as
they
embark
on
a
daring
journey
through
the
stars.
Their
efforts
would
end
the
fighting
for
good,
but
they're
not
without
sacrifice.
The
stakes
are
even
higher
than
either
of
them
first
realized,
and
the
more
time
they
spend
together,
the
more
they're
forced
to
question
everything
they'd
been
taught
was
true.
An
epic
and
romantic
adventure,
perfect
for
fans
of
The
Lunar
Chronicles
andIlluminae.
