  • Mar. 18th, 2013 at 12:11 PM


Summary: The fates of Cinder and Scarlet collide as a Lunar threat spreads across the Earth...

Cinder, the cyborg mechanic, returns in the second thrilling installment of the bestselling Lunar Chronicles. She's trying to break out of prison—even though if she succeeds, she'll be the Commonwealth's most wanted fugitive.

Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit's grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn't know about her grandmother or the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother's whereabouts, she is loath to trust this stranger, but is inexplicably drawn to him, and he to her. As Scarlet and Wolf unravel one mystery, they encounter another when they meet Cinder. Now, all of them must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana, who will do anything for the handsome Prince Kai to become her husband, her king, her prisoner.

In Captain Vorpatril’s Alliance, Ivan finds himself in the middle of a zany romantic comedy when Byerly turns up at his doorstep in need of help. It turns out that there is a mysterious young woman who is not who she says she is, who may be in need of help. Ivan is persuaded to make contact with this young lady, but the lady in question is understandably wary; she is in fact in danger. Somehow, this ends with Ivan getting married to the young woman, who turns out to be the youngest daughter of a Jackson’s Whole House which has recently suffered an extremely hostile takeover. (The marriage was to prevent Tej’s enemies from having her deported and then kidnapped.)
