In New World, there were no secrets. Everyone could hear everyone else's thoughts in a constant, overwhelming Noise. Then a cure came – one that the second generation took from birth. Peace descended, wars ended, communication was silenced.

Until now . . .

A sci-fi, dystopian, heart-pounding adventure like no other, by one of the world’s most beloved young-adult writers. This is a brand-new story set in the world of the multi-award-winning, globally bestselling Chaos Walking series - a compelling read for new and existing fans.

Brothers Ben and Max have never really gotten on, each being more like one of their parents – Todd and Viola.

But when something is spotted in the night sky - something that’s bringing back dreams of Noise, dreams of terror - the brothers will have to come together.

Danger is coming and the family will be tested like never before.

For fans of The Hunger Games and action-packed dystopia as well as fantasy worlds such as those by Philip Pullman. The hardback book contains stunning illustrations by Jim Kay, the award-winning artist of A Monster Calls.

“A creative science-fiction rollercoaster . . . An absorbing, deeply human tale of finding common ground in the perpetual struggle to do the next right thing.” Kirkus Reviews

“In a world full of Noise, the CHAOS WALKING trilogy delivered a razor-sharp take on humanity and morality even more relevant now than when it was first published.” Neal Shusterman, author of Scythe

Reviews for Piper at the Gates of Dusk: First in a trilogy of gripping, dystopian sci-fi YA novels and a return to the world of global bestselling series CHAOS WALKING

Hugely exciting and satisfyingly frightening, Piper at the Gates of Dusk is also political in its reminder of how easily we turn against one another. It is also a truly inclusive novel. -- Charlotte Eyre * The Bookseller * A quick glance at Goodreads shows how excited his fans are for this new story and they will not be disappointed: Piper at the Gates of Dusk is brave, exciting, political and fierce. -- Charlotte Eyre * The Bookseller * This book absolutely floored me. I was shamefully late to reading Choas Walking, despite the fact that I had read every other of Ness’ books and been deeply in love with them. When I read the trilogy back in late 2020 I was furious that I had denied myself the beauty for so long. It quickly became one of my all time favourite trilogies. I fell in love with the world. The characters. All of it. And so to be back there… oh what a joy it was! * NetGalley Reviewer *
