Fans of Star Wars and Divergent will revel in internationally bestselling author Veronica Rothβs stunning new science-fiction fantasy series.
On a planet where violence and vengeance rule, in a galaxy where some are favored by fate, everyone develops a currentgift, a unique power meant to shape the future. While most benefit from their currentgifts, Akos and Cyra do notβtheir gifts make them vulnerable to othersβ control. Can they reclaim their gifts, their fates, and their lives, and reset the balance of power in this world?
Cyra is the sister of the brutal tyrant who rules the Shotet people. Cyraβs currentgift gives her pain and powerβsomething her brother exploits, using her to torture his enemies. But Cyra is much more than just a blade in her brotherβs hand: she is resilient, quick on her feet, and smarter than he knows.
Akos is from the peace-loving nation of Thuvhe, and his loyalty to his family is limitless. Though protected by his unusual currentgift, once Akos and his brother are captured by enemy Shotet soldiers, Akos is desperate to get his brother out aliveβno matter what the cost. When Akos is thrust into Cyraβs world, the enmity between their countries and families seems insurmountable. They must decide to help each other to surviveβor to destroy one another.
