Yalena Russo, peace was never an option. Pushed out of the spotlight and into obedience, Yalena returns to a STAR Academy that has changed. In fact, the near worlds have changed, forcing her to walk the thin line between politics and mayhem. Determined to find out why the Fians claim to be connected to her, Yalena has to track down whoever gave her up as a baby. But the truth can be elusive. Yalena must employ her friends' talents-and her own-on a shadow quest to hunt down the answers. And all the while, she weaves herself deeper into the web of Fian lies. But what if some of them aren't lies at all?

Lydia är 17 år och bor i det fattiga och nedbrända landet som en gång varit Kanada. För att skydda människorna, som lever där, mot den farliga värmestrålningen är landet omgivet av en glaskupol. Varje år arrangerar presidenten ett antal obligatoriska tester som alla sjuttonåringar måste delta i. De som har samlat ihop flest poäng får möjlighet att tjänstgöra i armén och kan på så sätt försörja sina familjer. Majoriteten av alla sjuttonåringar blir så kallade medelmåttor och får återvända hem till sina fattiga familjer. Sen finns det såklart de värdelösa. De som inte har fått några poäng och som bara finns till för att försvaga samhället. De som avrättas dagen efter tävlingen. Bästa placering #2 i Science fiction

Sjuttonåriga Mika är med om en svår olycka och förlorar synen. Hennes liv förändras drastiskt och hon måste förlita sig på ljud runt omkring sig och använda så kallade "blindkäppar". Det är som att födas i en helt ny värld och kompisarna verkar inte fatta ett jävla skit. Mitt i allt kaos kommer hon i kontakt med skolans badboy Wincent, genom en incident då hon råkar hälla latte över honom... *** Det verkar inte som att Stella satte något lock på latten, för jag hör ljudet av splashande vätska som, jag är rätt så säker på, nu befinner sig på personen framför mig. Jag hinner inte be om ursäkt förrän personen ger ifrån sig ett smärtsamt vrål. Jupp, totally latteduschad. "Förlåt", mumlar jag. Jag kan inte se ifall någon tittar åt vårt håll, men jag är ganska säker på att de flestas blickar i korridoren nu vilar på oss. Killens vrål var inte speciellt lågt. Till min fasa verkar han inte så förstående heller. "Vafan äru blind eller?" Faktiskt, ja. *** [Varning: Självskador. Självmord. Sex. Aningen grovt språk och våld.] Wattys Awards 2016: Samlarutgåvan.

Excerpt The highly anticipated start of a new romantic suspense series from the beloved, USA Today bestselling author of Ten Tiny Breaths. Left for dead in the fields of rural Oregon, a young woman defies all odds and survives—but she awakens with no idea who she is, or what happened to her. Refusing to answer to “Jane Doe” for another day, the woman renames herself “Water” for the tiny, hidden marking on her body—the only clue to her past. Taken in by old Ginny Fitzgerald, a crotchety but kind lady living on a nearby horse farm, Water slowly begins building a new life. But as she attempts to piece together the fleeting slivers of her memory, more questions emerge: Who is the next-door neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? Why won’t Ginny let him step foot on her property? And why does Water feel she recognizes him? Twenty-four-year-old Jesse Welles doesn’t know how long it will be before Water gets her memory back. For her sake, Jesse hopes the answer is never. He knows that she’ll stay so much safer—and happier—that way. And that’s why, as hard as it is, he needs to keep his distance. Because getting too close could flood her with realities better left buried. The trouble is, water always seems to find its way to the surface.
