The international bestseller and masterpiece of science fiction in a new eye-catching package with sprayed edges “Harrowing, heartbreaking, and brutally human . . . a masterpiece of speculative fiction and social commentary.” —Neal Shusterman, New York Times best-selling author of the Arc of a Scythe trilogy As a world-ending war surges to life around them, Todd and Viola face unspeakably vast consequences of each action, each word, each monstrous decision. The indigenous Spackle are mobilizing to avenge their murdered kin, ruthless human leaders are defending their factions, and a convoy of new settlers is approaching. All the while, the ceaseless Noise continues laying all thoughts bare—and the projected will of the few threatens to overwhelm the desperate desire of the many.
My god, there is so much to love about the remarkable Patrick Ness! Where to begin? His beautiful prose? That electrifying originality? Those multifaceted, real-to-the-bone characters? How about the way he explores the messy complexities of the human experience in stories that make us feel seen and known and also forgiven? Above all, there is this: Patrick's deep, ferocious respect for young readers. He believes they can change the world, and it comes through in every single word. #1 NYT Bestselling author Libba Bray
