Fans of Divergent will love Diana Peterfreund's take on Jane Austen's Persuasion set in a post-apocalyptic world.

In the dystopian future of For Darkness Shows the Stars, a genetic experiment has devastated humanity. In the aftermath, a new class system placed anti-technology Luddites in absolute power over vast estates--and any survivors living there.

Elliot North is a dutiful Luddite and a dutiful daughter who runs her father's estate. When the boy she loved, Kai, a servant, asked her to run away with him four years ago, she refused, although it broke her heart.

Now Kai is back. And while Elliot longs for a second chance with her first love, she knows it could mean betraying everything she's been raised to believe is right.

For Darkness Shows the Stars is a breathtaking YA romance about opening your mind to the future and your heart to the one person you know can break it.

Four years ago, she made an impossible choice. Now, the boy she let go is back, and he's not asking for permission.

Second Chance Romance:

She broke his heart and chose her duty four years ago. Now Kai is back, wealthy and furious, and Elliot has one last chance to win back her first love. A Strict Class Divide:

In a world where the ruling Luddites and servant-class Posts are strictly separated, their relationship isn't just discouraged--it's dangerous. A Jane Austen Retelling:

A stunning science fiction reimagining of Jane Austen's classic novel of love and loss, Persuasion. Rich Dystopian World-Building:

A post-apocalyptic society, a failed genetic experiment, and a simmering rebellion create a backdrop for a story of hope, technology, and love against the odds.

Praise for ASCENDANT: I was riveted by Ascendant. It's not only about killer unicorns; it's also about finding the courage to make tough decisions--and to be true to yourself. I think Astrid rocks! --Malinda Lo, author of ASH
