Mientras en Nueva Beijing Cinder está a punto de convertirse en una de las fugitivas más buscadas, Scarlet, en Francia, está segura de que alguien secuestró a su abuela. Cuando la policía cierra repentinamente el caso, decide continuar la búsqueda sola. Pero para hacerlo necesitará la ayuda de Wolf, un peleador callejero que parece ser el único camino para llegar hasta ella. Juntos se sumergen en un mundo oscuro y peligroso, y allí conocerán a Cinder y se darán cuenta de que sus historias tienen más conexiones de las que podrían haber imaginado. Juntos, deberán enfrentar a la reina lunar Levana, quien está dispuesta a todo con tal de que el príncipe Kai se convierta en su esposo, su rey… su prisionero.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Returning fans of Meyer's Cinder will gladly sink their teeth into this ambitious, wholly satisfying sequel. Linh Cinder has learned that she is Princess Selene, a Lunar who was supposedly murdered by her treacherous and powerful aunt, Queen Levana, but in fact survived. Meanwhile on Earth, Scarlet Benoit and her former military pilot grandmother, now smalltown farmers in France, have recently become the target of a ruthless pack of wolflike humans who, if they don't get the information they want, will probably kill them. Meyer's plot is intricate and elaborate as she leaps between Cinder's and Scarlet's narratives, leaving readers anticipating their eventual intersection. Scarlet is a headstrong and loyal heroine, determined to save her grandmother (who has gone missing) while reluctantly falling for the protective but bloodthirsty Wolf, who might have been hired to kill her or might be in love with her. Meyer portrays each scene with precision and rising tension, leaving readers with another mesmerizing journey. The third book in the Lunar Chronicles, Cress, is scheduled for 2014. Ages 12 up.
