โAn explosion of emotion, intrigue, romance, and revolution.โ โStephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Caraval series
In the tradition of The Lunar Chronicles, this sweeping reimagining of Les Misรฉrables tells the story of three teens from very different backgrounds who are thrown together amidst the looming threat of revolution on the French planet of Laterre.
A thief.
An officer.
A guardian.
Three strangers, one shared destinyโฆ
When the Last Days came, the planet of Laterre promised hope. A new life for a wealthy French family and their descendants. But five hundred years later, itโs now a place where an extravagant elite class reigns supreme; where the clouds hide the stars and the poor starve in the streets; where a rebel group, long thought dead, is resurfacing.
Whispers of revolution have begunโa revolution that hinges on three unlikely heroesโฆ
Chatine is a street-savvy thief who will do anything to escape the brutal Regime, including spy on Marcellus, the grandson of the most powerful man on the planet.
Marcellus is an officerโand the son of an infamous traitor. In training to take command of the military, Marcellus begins to doubt the government heโs vowed to serve when his father dies and leaves behind a cryptic message that only one person can read: a girl named Alouette.
Alouette is living in an underground refuge, where she guards and protects the last surviving library on the planet. But a shocking murder will bring Alouette to the surface for the first time in twelve yearsโฆand plunge Laterre into chaos.
All three have a role to play in a dangerous game of revolutionโand together they will shape the future of a planet.
