Publisher's Summary

Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood plague: marked by a jagged scar, snow-white hair, and lashes. Cast out by her family, Adelina has finally found a place to belong within the secret society of Young Elites. To some, the Elites are heroes, here to save innocents in desperate situations. But to the Inquisition Axis, the white-robed soldiers of Kenettra, they are monsters with demonic powers who must be brought to justice. As Adelina learns more about this perilous world where politics and magic clash, she soon realizes that her own powers may be in danger of bringing on an era of panic such as the world has never seen.

What the critics say

“By permitting her characters some grand failures, she raises the stakes in the best way possible.... There is clearly more to know, and I look forward to it. This is a world worth revisiting.” (The New York Times Book Review)

“Lu pivots from the ‘coming of age via romance’ formula to pry apart the many emotions that pass under the rubric of love… There’s nothing easy here, for Adelina or readers - there are no safe places where the pressures of betrayal, death threats, and rejection aren’t felt.”(Publishers Weekly, starred review)

“Readers should prepare to be captivated - and to look forward to a continuation of the Young Elites series.” (Booklist, starred review)
