**Devil in the Device brims with brilliant world-building and
richly-imagined characters--a great encapsulation of everything that
makes science fiction so much fun! --Andrea Tang, author of Rebelwing

Zhade's power might be going to his head.
Newly on the throne, he's still getting used to wearing Maret's face,
but he can't deny that the influence it affords him has its perks. So
when the magic of Eerensed starts to turn deadly, Zhade must master the
Crown if he's going to save his people, and Tsurina's destructive plans
for Eerensed aren't going to make that easy. Worse, he's starting to see
her point.
Andra is underground.
Assumed dead by the people of Eerensed, she must stay hidden in the
city's depths if she's going to live long enough to build the rocket
that will finally save the colonists from this dying planet. But when
Andra hears voices urging her to destroy everything, she starts to dig
deeper into her subconcious. What she discovers leads her to question
whether she's destined to be a savior after all.
Battling the dangerous forces buried within their minds, Andra and Zhade
will have to find a way to work together before two power-hungry leaders
and a deadly swarm of rogue technology destroy humanity for good.
Lora Beth Johnson delivers a stunning conclusion to the Goddess in the
Machine duology with this brilliant novel. Part political conspiracy,
part technological thriller, its deeply emotional core deftly explores
what it means to be human, and how to hold on when everything seems
lost.
