Discover the world author Lauren DeStefano created in Wither, a riveting dystopian thriller. In the not-so-distant future, fallout from genetic engineering causes all females to die at age twenty, and all males to die at twenty-five. Kidnapped from her home and torn from her twin brother Rowan, sixteen-year-old Rhine is forced into a polygamous marriage and taken to live in her husband’s mansion.

don't buy it. it's just excerpts from the 3 books of the chemical gardens. The actual "never before seen" story is Rose convincing Linden to marry. nothing you don't know if you've read the books.

Not worth buying. That "never-told-before"-story is like extremely short. 10 pages, maybe. And the drawing of the wives floor...not worth mentioning. Oh, the book comes with a few pages of "wither" and "fever", but you can get free samples here, anyway
