Lies
It's been seven months since everyone over the age of fifteen disappeared. Then in just one night everything they think they know will be challenged. A girl who died now walks among the living; Zil and the Human Crew set fire to Perdido Beach; and amid the flames and smoke, Sam sees the figure of the boy he fears the most: Drake.
Sam and Caine thought they defeated him along with the Darkness – but they were wrong. Now Drake is back from the dead and ready to pick up where he and Sam left off. And all the while deadly rumours are raging like the fire itself, spread by the prophetess Orsay and her companion, Nerezza. They say that death is a way to escape the FAYZ...
Conditions are worse than ever and kids are desperate to get out. But are they desperate enough to believe that death will set them free?

About the Gone Series
Books in series order
Reading age: 14+ years
This series should be read in order.
In the blink of an eye, everyone disappears. GONE. Except for the young: teens, middle schoolers, toddlers remain, but not one single adult. No teachers, cops, doctors or parents. Just as suddenly, there are no phones, no internet and no television. No way to get help and no way to figure out what's happened. Hunger threatens. Bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talents - unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers - that grow stronger by the day. It's a terrifying new world. Sides are being chosen, a fight is shaping up. Townies against rich kids. Bullies against the weak. Powerful against powerless. And time is running out because on your fifteenth birthday, you disappear just like everyone else...
