Brought to you by Penguin.

Rules are different outside the Society.

Chasing down an uncertain future, Cassia makes her way to the Outer Provinces in pursuit of Ky - taken by the Society to his certain death - only to find that he has escaped into the majestic, but treacherous, canyons. On this wild frontier are glimmers of a different life and the enthralling promise of rebellion. But even as Cassia sacrifices everything to reunite with Ky, ingenious surprises from Xander may change the game once again.

Narrated from both Cassia's and Ky's points of view, this hotly anticipated sequel to Matched will take them both to the edge of Society, where nothing is as expected and crosses and double-crosses make their path more twisted than ever . . .

The sensational second book in the series and follow-up to acclaimed international bestseller, Matched.

Reviews

(Praise for Matched): Unmissable

—— Marie Claire

Poetic, page-turning prose

—— Telegraph

Beautifully written, touching and intelligent

—— Daily Mirror

This smart and imaginative story is utterly thrilling

—— Closer

This book both kicks ass and yet is full of beauty

—— My Favourite Books

I loved this book. I read it in one sitting and was completely caught up in the crazy fairy tale world that Karen Mahoney has created! Overall, a brilliant and enchanting read!

—— Belle Books

I definitely don't want to give anything away about the ending, but I have to give the authors credit for a really stunning climax which had me desperate to get my hands on the next in this 5-book series. I can't wait to find out where we go from here!

—— Jim Dean , YA Yeah Yeah

Pratchett's final work is a tour de force of compassion, great wit, and gleeful storytelling.

—— Publishers Weekly (starred review)

A worthy crown to Terry Pratchett’s phenomenal artistic achievement.

—— Michael Dirda , Washington Post

The last Discworld offering is a poignant farewell, both to Pratchett's readership and to his extraordinary world.

—— Imogen Russell Williams , Metro

As ever in Pratchett's work, empathy and compassion are foregrounded. With its humour and humaneness, it reminds us, too, that its author, as Tiffany says of her deceased friend, 'is . . . was . . . unfollowable.'

—— James Lovegrove , Financial Times

Something to treasure

—— Kirkus Reviews

Funny, sad and extremely moving . . . most will likely consider it one of the strongest, and certainly one of the most – possibly the most – moving [of the Discworld novels].

—— Juliette Harrisson , Den of Geek
