Though protected by his unusual currentgift, once Akos and his brother are captured by enemy Shotet soldiers, Akos is desperate to get his brother out alive - no matter what the cost. But Cyra is much more than just a blade in her brother's hand: she is resilient, quick on her feet and smarter than he knows.Īkos is from the peace-loving nation of Thuvhe, and his loyalty to his family is limitless.


Cyra's currentgift gives her pain and power - something her brother exploits, using her to torture his enemies. Can they reclaim their gifts, their fates and their lives and reset the balance of power in this world?Ĭyra is the sister of the brutal tyrant who rules the Shotet people. While most benefit from their currentgifts, Akos and Cyra do not - their gifts make them vulnerable to others' control. On a planet where violence and vengeance rule, in a galaxy where some are favoured by fate, everyone develops a currentgift, a unique power meant to shape the future. Fans of Star Wars and Divergent will revel in internationally best-selling author Veronica Roth's stunning new science-fiction fantasy series.
