An Outcast State

Winner of the 2014 Dante Rossetti Award for Best Young Adult Dystopian Novel


Will Corbin choose redemption or revenge?

Corbin, a brilliant, aloof young loner, is a survivor determined to do the impossible – make his way across the country killing as many eaters as he can and maybe stumble across some clue to his parents’ identities. But in all his years of searching, the only things he's managed to learn are to trust no one and to swing first and hard. 

He meets Molly rummaging through her parents’ empty home and forges a friendship he has never known, as they fight the eaters and survivors who have lost all trace of humanity.

 Can Molly help him learn to trust again before she gets them both killed?
