When two worlds, sci-fi and fantasy, collide, you have The Renegades. This is the prequel to Marissa Meyer's series. David and Alec have been growing up in a city where their kind is oppressed for having supernatural abilities. After a tragic life event, their whole world seems to fall apart. But their brotherly bond does not grow stronger as you might think. As Alec seems to drift away from David, he has to learn to make his own decisions for the good of the world - in honor of his family - and maybe even save it from his brother.
