"Praise for the instant New York Times bestseller Skyhunter ""Riveting."" --POPSUGAR ""Action-packed."" --BuzzFeed ""Fresh."" --Los Angeles Times ""Exhilarating...a rollercoaster of a reading experience."" --The Nerd Daily

A Quiet Place meets Attack on Titan in this unputdownable, adrenaline-laced novel.

Strikers are loyal. With unparalleled, deadly fighting skills. With a willingness to do anything--including sacrifice their own lives--to defend Mara, the world's last free nation. But to the very people she protects, Talin is seen as an outcast first and a Striker second.

No matter what others think, Talin lets nothing distract her from keeping the evil Federation and its army of haunting, mutant beasts at bay. Until a mysterious prisoner shows up and disrupts Talin's entire world. Is he a spy? A product of the Federation's sinister experiments? The clock is ticking for Talin to unravel the prisoner's secrets and discover whether he's the weapon that will save--or destroy--them all.

Explore the chilling realities of war and the power of hope in Skyhunter, with slow burn romance and nonstop action that will have you racing to the end."

A New York Times and Publishers Weekly bestseller Cinematically imagined... An exciting, layered, action-filled tale. --Kirkus Reviews Paradoxes abound and readers will glory in them all. --Booklist Suspense and high-action fights make this plot-driven story both fast-paced and brutal. --School Library Journal Lu (The Kingdom of Back and Legend) creates a devastating, war-torn world, built upon the wreckage of a technologically advanced society. Readers will eagerly await a follow-up to this engrossing dystopian novel, which searingly interrogates traumas of war, immigration, and imperialism. --Publishers Weekly Lu ably balances lightning-fast action and stirring battles with romance, weaving in enough bits of cultural history to give the story some grounding... This hearty but small group of Talin, Red, and a few more allies face formidable odds in the next outing, and readers will likely eagerly await news on how they fare. -- The Bulletin This tale of intrigue, alliances, and love will draw Legend fans and new readers into a fascinating world whose combined layers of privilege and surveillance draw comparisons to many present-day social ills. --Publishers Weekly Lu opts for a high simmer of intrigue in her sequel to Legend . . . taut and insightful. --Publishers Weekly, starred review The well-drawn worlds, political undercurrents and the believability of the characters make it all feel fresh. --Los Angeles Times Clear your calendar to allow yourself the luxury of reading this book in one or two sittings. You will be shaken. --New York Journal of Books [Lu] has given this beautifully crafted series the ending it deserved. --Booklist
