Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever. A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. Adelina's black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her cruel father believes she is a "malfetto," an abomination, ruining their family's good name and standing in the way of their fortune. But some of the fever's survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars--they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called The Young Elites.

Teren Santoro works for the king. As Leader of the Inquisition Axis, it is his job to seek out The Young Elites, to destroy them before they destroy the nation. He believes The Young Elites to be dangerous and vengeful, but it's Teren who may possess the darkest secret of all.

Enzo Valenciano is a member of the Dagger Society. This secret sect of Young Elites seeks out others like them before the Inquisition Axis can. But when the Daggers find Adelina, they discover someone with powers like they've never seen.

Adelina wants to believe Enzo is on her side, and that Teren is the true enemy. But the lives of these three will collide in unexpected ways, as each fights a very different and personal battle. But of one thing they are all certain: Adelina has abilities that shouldn't belong in this world. A vengeful blackness in her heart. And a desire to destroy all who dare to cross her.

Amie Kaufman

Meagan Spooner

Marie Lu

Margaret Stohl

Don’t miss our Sunday Fight for the Future tour stop with four sparkling authors! Lisa Parkin of the Huffington Post chose Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner’s novel as the best overall YA book of 2013, noting, “I thought a lot about this selection. It had to be a book that was well-rounded and well-written. It had to be fresh and new. And most of all, it had to stun its readers with exquisite storytelling. These Broken Stars fits the description perfectly. I finished it wishing there was more to read and wanting to start all over just to experience it again and again. It is truly an outstanding YA space opera that you should absolutely put at the top of your to-be-read list.” Margaret Stohl’s Icons introduced an inhuman enemy capable of wiping out most of our civilization, and the few who can stand against them. She will offer teasers for this spring’s Dangerous Creatures, with co-author Kami Garcia, and summer’s Idols, sequel to Icons. Champion is the conclusion to Marie Lu’s epic dystopian young adult trilogy, as June and Day deal romance, politics, loyalty, betrayal, and necessary hard choices. Ask Marie about modeling the “traveling dress” from the cover of These Broken Stars.

Publishers Weekly’s starred review notes: “A happy-ever-after glow was never in the cards for these two, but Lu displays a hint of Charlotte Brontë in the resolution her characters find.”
