NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The “superb” (Wall Street Journal) second book in the internationally bestselling dystopian Matched trilogy continues Cassia’s story and her relentless quest for freedom.
“Intriguing.”—Entertainment Weekly
“Steered by characters who break the rules, form new alliances, and commit to surprising paths.”—Shelf Awareness
In search of a future that may not exist and faced with the decision of who to share it with, Cassia journeys to the Outer Provinces in pursuit of Ky—taken by the Society to his certain death—only to find that he has escaped, leaving a series of clues in his wake.
Cassia's quest leads her to question much of what she holds dear, even as she finds glimmers of a different life across the border. But as Cassia becomes resolved about her future with Ky, an invitation for rebellion, an unexpected betrayal, and a surprise visit from Xander—who may hold the key to the uprising and to Cassia's heart—changes the game once again.
Nothing is as expected on the edge of Society, where crosses and double crosses make the path more twisted than ever.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Separated by the dictatorial Society that rules them, Cassia has been searching for Ky while suffering the harsh conditions of labor camps far from home. About to be sent to the Society's biggest city for her permanent work assignment, Cassia instead grabs an opportunity to reach the war-torn Outer Provinces, where she finally gets a lead in tracking Ky. Ky has survived being used as a pawn in the Society's war against a nameless and faceless enemy; he and two companions have escaped into a no man's land, and Cassia follows. As Cassia and Ky hike through dangerous territory in search of a rumored rebellion and the freedom to be together, the specter of Cassia's betrothed, Xander, hangs over them. Narrated from Cassia and Ky's viewpoints, Condie's sequel to her acclaimed Matched is very much a middle book, centering on a transformative journey and setting up the finale to come. Newcomers will need to read the first book for background, but vivid, poetic writing will pull fans through as Condie immerses readers in her characters' yearnings and hopes. Ages 14 up.
