In ZEROES, Scott Westerfeld teams up with award-winning authors Margo Lanagan and Deborah Biancotti to create a sizzling new series filled with action and adventure. Don’t call them heroes. But these six Californian teens have powers that set them apart. Take Ethan, a.k.a. Scam. He’s got a voice inside him that’ll say whatever you want to hear, whether it’s true or not. Which is handy, except when it isn’t—like when the voice starts gabbing in the middle of a bank robbery. The only people who can help are the other Zeroes, who aren’t exactly best friends these days. Enter Nate, a.k.a. Bellwether, the group’s “glorious leader.” After Scam’s SOS, he pulls the scattered Zeroes back together. But when the rescue blows up in their faces, the Zeroes find themselves propelled into whirlwind encounters with ever more dangerous criminals. At the heart of the chaos they find Kelsie, who can take a crowd in the palm of her hand and tame it or let it loose as she pleases. Filled with high-stakes action and drama, Zeroes unites three powerhouse authors for the opening installment of a thrilling new series.

"Each one of these souls are infinite and precious. And I'm close. Close to saving them all." Ever since the original government fell apart, there was a king and a queen ruling over the Earth. This made new rules arise, causing no panic or fear. There were ranks. Each person were assigned a certain rank to fit the needs of the world and kingdom. Of course conflict arose over ranks. Mercie Bootsma, otherwise known as the Librarian holds a special secret not known to mankind quite yet. The secret was so powerful, that no one must know about it. It will lead to terror and death. And perhaps, to other unspeakable things.

What happens when you feel as if your nightmare were a distant memory memory? What if it follows you around, never leaving? What if every time you close your eyes, you hear screams and feel a fresh wave of grief wash over you? This is what's happening to a confused teenage girl. She has the same dream almost every night. Lately, her dreams has become more and more vivid, pressing her to seek the truth. The one question she wants to know most is, "Is it really a dream?"

"I could have killed her right then and there, but I thought I'd let you decide..." Skylar Evans. Age: Sixteen, and counting. Insubordinence Level: Undecided. Or at least, that's what my file states. For our benefit they have hidden this information from us all. Heck, I didn't even know what Insubordinence was, until they brought me to Shelter Seven. Fasces is all I've seen of the world, and I'm not eager to see any more. In an attempt to correct human nature, Fasces was formed with strict laws called the Variables. They influence every aspect of our lives. Our world is only held together by the Variables. So what happens if they fall? * * * "Fear itself. It is one vicious cycle, one that I have been in my whole life." For years I have been in fear, despair, agony. I can no longer keep these facts secret. I am done with this world. And this world is done with me. To most, I am nobody special, just Tyler. To one, I am the world. A world of defiance that threatens to shatter the perfect glass she has forged with the heat of hatred. I have never before known the power of truths and lies. I have never before known the pain of losing everything due to some empty words. That is, until I was forced into all this by one small step. One small step, towards one gap of truths, that I could only lie about. * * * Dystopia takes place in a very futuristic North America, where a country has been constructed from the ground up, to restore peace to the world. "An attempt to correct human nature" they say. Fasces was a world of ideals. But ideals only last so long...
