Book description
The second book in the PURE trilogy for fans of THE PASSAGE, THE ROAD
and THE HUNGER GAMES. When the end came, the world was divided. Those
considered perfect, the Pure, sheltered inside the controlled Dome.
Outside, the Wretches struggled in a destroyed world, crippled by the
fusings that branded them after the apocalypse that changed everything.
Partridge, a Pure, has left the safety of the Dome in search of the
truth. Pressia, a Wretch, is desperate to decode the secret that will
cure her people of their fusings forever. Together, they must seek out
the answers that will save humankind, and prevent the world's
annihilation. But the betrayal of Partridge's departure has not been
forgotten. As the Dome unleashes horrifying vengeance upon the Wretches
in an attempt to get Partridge back, Partridge has no choice but to
return to face the darkness that lies there, even as Pressia travels to
the very ends of the world to continue their search. Theirs is a
struggle against a formidable foe, and it is a fight that will push them
over boundaries of land and of sea, of heart and of mind. They can only
hope for success because failure is unimaginable... 'A great, gorgeous
novel, boundless in its imagination. You will be swept away' 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.
