"Not to be missed!" --Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling

"An explosion of emotion, intrigue, romance, and revolution."
--Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the
Caraval series
In the tradition of The Lunar Chronicles, this sweeping reimagining of
Les Misérables 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 destiny...
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, it's 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 begun--a revolution that hinges on three
unlikely heroes...
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 officer--and the son of an infamous traitor. In training
to take command of the military, Marcellus begins to doubt the
government he's 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
years...and plunge Laterre into chaos.
All three have a role to play in a dangerous game of revolution--and
together they will shape the future of a planet.
