It seemed so simple: Defeat the Tonton, rescue her kidnapped brother, Lugh, and then order would be restored to Saba’s world. Simplicity, however, has proved to be elusive. Now, Saba and what remains of her family travel west, headed for a better life and a longed-for reunion with Jack. But the fight for Lugh’s freedom has unleashed a new power in the dust lands, and a formidable new enemy is on the rise.

What is the truth about Jack? And how far will Saba go to get what she wants? In this much-anticipated follow-up to the riveting Blood Red Road, a fierce heroine finds herself at the crossroads of danger and destiny, betrayal and passion.

This series should be read in order.

In a lawless future land, where life is cheap and survival is hard, Saba has been brought up in isolated Silverlake. She never sees the dangers of the destructive society outside, until a monster sandstorm heralds the arrival of four cloaked horsemen. The mysterious black-robed riders snatch Saba's twin brother, Lugh, and she is forced to set out on an epic quest to rescue him and bring the kidnappers to justice.

The 'Dust Lands' trilogy is imbued with searing pace, a poetically minimal writing style, violent action, and an epic love story: a truly sensational YA debut for fans of 'The Hunger Games' and 'Divergent.'
