Ro
murmurs
into
my
ear.
"Don't
be
afraid,
Dol.
They're
not
coming
for
us."
Still,
he
slips
his
arm
around
me
and
we
wait
until
the
sky
is
clear.
Because he doesn't know. Not really.
Everything changed on The Day. The day the Icon appeared in Los Angeles. The day the power stopped. The day Dol's family dropped dead. The day Earth lost a war it didn't know it was fighting.
Since then, Dol has lived a simple life in the countryside with fellow survivor Ro-safe from the shadow of the Icon and its terrifying power. Hiding from the one truth she can't avoid.
They're different. They survived. Why?
When the government discovers their secret, they are forced to join faint-hearted Tima and charismatic Lucas in captivity. Called the Icon Children, the four are the only humans on Earth immune to the power of the Icons. Torn between brooding Ro and her evolving feelings for Lucas, between a past and a future, Dol's heart has never been more vulnerable. And as tensions escalate, the Icon Children discover that their explosive emotions-which they've always thought to be their greatest weaknesses-may actually be their greatest strengths.
Bestselling author Margaret Stohl delivers a thrilling novel set in a haunting new world where four teens must piece together the mysteries of their pasts-in order to save their future.

"Short sentence structure adds to the tension, and the Embassy reports add a level of intrigue. Readers will be waiting for the next book in the series."—Library Media Connection
"Fans
of
Stohl'sBeautiful
Creaturesseries
will
find
many
of
the
same
elements
here
--
paranormal
romance,
a
fast
pace,
and
intriguing
characters
--
but
within
a
distinctly
science-fiction
setting.
The
strong
messages
of
questioning
authority,
daring
to
resist
injustice,
and
loyalty
to
one's
group
will
resonate
with
teens
who
lovedThe
Hunger
Games."
—Booklist"Dol's
narrative
voice
is
particularly
vivid
.
.
.
Will
keep
readers
engrossed."
—Publisher's
Weekly"Stohl's
dystopia
is
well-written
and
well-structured.
Action
balances
with
character
and
world
development,
and
interspersed
documents
reference
deeper
mysteries,
gradually
hinting
at
how
the
'icon
children'
came
to
be.
The
multi-layered
characters
are
mostly
sympathetic,
believably
flawed
and

—VOYA"Iconsis
epic
in
scale
and
exquisite
in
detail-a
haunting,
futuristic
fable
of
loss
and
love."

New

Times
bestseller
Matched
"I
love
this
book.
It's
raw
and
riveting,
a
scorched-Earth
future
vision
that
feels
frighteningly
real.
It's
full
of
passion
and
deep
truths
and
the
kind
of
power
that
people
only
find
when
they're
driven
far,
far
past
their
limits."
—Lev
Grossman,
New
York
Times
bestselling
author
ofThe
Magicians
"Margaret
Stohl
is
a
genius
when
it
comes
to
characters
and
their
emotions.
ICONS
had
me
hooked
on
the
first
page,
and
I
can't
wait
to
read
the
sequel!"
Richelle
Mead,
New
York
Times
bestselling
author
of
the
Vampire
Academy
and
Bloodlines
series
"An
action-packed,
smart
thriller
that
shows
an
excitingly
different
side
of
Stohl's
writing
and
opens
up
a
fascinating
new
world."
—Holly
Black,
New
York
Times
bestselling
author
of
the
Modern
Faerie
Tales
series
"The
ultimate
compliment
I
can
give
this
book:
I
hate
that
it
was
written
by
someone
else.
It's
just
awesome.
I
hope
this
one
gets
made
into
a
movie."

trilogy
