Once upon a time, a girl had a father, a prince, a society of friends. (Oct.From New York Times best-selling author Marie Lu comes the second book in the exhilarating Young Elites series. Agent: Kristin Nelson, Nelson Literary Agency. "What is so great about being good?" she wonders as revenge becomes not about love or justice, but winning. As her Elite strength grows, Adelina struggles to control her illusions, and the escalating whispers of fear in her head fuel her mistrust. The novel is much darker than its predecessor, largely because its focus remains on the complex Adelina, more villain than hero. Lu constructs a fascinating triangle of opposing forces seeking power, and the ensuing twists and epic battles leave many dead, broken, or forever changed. Adelina has learned the hard way that "not all Elites can be allies," and Raffaele and his Daggers have formed their own alliance with Maeve, the northern queen of Beldain, whose dark Elite power can help them seize the Kenettran throne. After acquiring new allies, Adelina heads back to Estenzia to seek revenge. This intense sequel to The Young Elites begins with Dagger Society outcast Adelina and her equally gifted sister, Violetta, seeking other powerful Elites in the city-state of Merroutas after escaping from Teren and the Inquisition Axis's clutches.
