Fallen

Ember is on the run. One by one, year by year, every member of her family has been chosen to go on a quest. One by one, they left and never came back. No one ever has. So when her name was called, she knew she had to do it. She had to run. It was the only way.

Sage is an accomplice. As of the thirty-day mark since she escaped with Ember, they have become traitors to the Vigiles. There’s no turning back now, and she knows that, but she also knows that they’re running out of time. She has a plan, only they’d have to be insane to follow through with it.

Asha is alone. That’s what happens when your home burns down. That’s what happens when half the town burns with it. That’s what happens when your parents die. That’s what happens when you run away to live in the one building that didn’t burn. But all that was years ago, and she’s accepted that she’s alone, she’s made peace with it.
Until he showed up out of nowhere and turned her life upside down once again.

Alexander should feel more guilty about running away. On paper, his life is perfect. His father is a popular politician, and his mother helps run the campaign. In reality, they’re perfectly nice people. . . . when they remember he exists. He knows that there’s no point in fighting it, because nothing is ever going to change.
Until he meets Asha.
Sure, she can be violent, intimidating, fierce, and just a tiny bit terrifying. But she’s also strong, smart, beautiful, and quite possibly the most courageous person he’s ever met. And if he’s brave enough, she might just be his ticket to freedom.
