Get
ready for a full-blast, futuristic roller coaster ride of fairytale fun in this
spectacular sequel to Cinder. Scarlet lives and works with
her grandmother on a farm in the small rural French town of Rieux. Her
grandmother has gone missing and disgusted with the lack of success by the
police in finding her, Scarlet sets out on her own to find out what happened.
When a strange, charming and very handsome man named Wolf claims he can help
her, Scarlet cautiously agrees. Meanwhile cyborg and missing Lunar princess,
Cinder, escapes from the castle prison and with the unexpected help of another
prisoner manages to elude capture on a stolen military ship. The worlds of
Cinder an Scarlet collide when Cinder tracks down the woman who rescued her
from Queen Levana when she was a child and by saving her life made her into a
cyborg. Lunar Queen Levana raises
the stakes in her war against the commonwealth by creating an army of
human-wolf hybrids. The action is non-stop propelling the reader through the
book at lightning speed. The new characters are integrated smoothly into the
familiar structure emerging from the pages as if they’d belonged there all
along. The author blends fantasy and science fiction into a wholly new and
compelling concoction. If you love gripping action, fantastic plot and
characters, and stellar writing, don’t miss out on this fabulous series, though
it is recommended that they be read in order.
