From bestselling author Jay Kristoff comes the second installment in
the LIFEL1K3 trilogy--hailed by Marie Lu as a breathless, action-packed
exploration of what humanity really means.
In the wake of a climactic battle in the ruined city of Babel, two
former best friends suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of the
same quest. Eve is torn between the memories of the girl she was, and
the synthetic she's discovered herself to be. Together with her lifelike
siblings, Eve sets out to find the real Ana Monrova, whose DNA is the
key to building an army of lifelikes. Meanwhile, Eve's best friend,
Lemon, is coming to terms with a power that she has long denied--and
that others want to harness as a weapon. When she meets a strange boy
named Grimm, he offers to lead her out of the horror-ridden landscape
and to an enclave of other abnorms like herself. There, Lemon quickly
finds a sense of belonging--and perhaps even love--among the other
genetic deviates. But all is not what it seems, and with enemies and
friends, heroes and villains wearing interchangeable faces, Lemon, too,
will join the race to locate Ana Monrova before her former best friend
can get to her.
