Series: The City of Ember

Just when the

future looks bright for the people of Ember, a new darkness lurks. This

highly acclaimed adventure series is a modern-day classic—with over 4 MILLION

copies sold!

Lina and Doon have led the citizens of Ember to an exciting new world. They’ve

been given safe haven in a small village called Sparks, a place filled with

color and life. But they’re not out of danger yet. Although Sparks seems like

the answer the long-suffering Emberites have been hoping for, tempers soon

escalate. The villagers have never had to share their world before, and it

only takes a tiny “spark” to ignite a battle between the two struggling

groups. Lina and Doon will have to work together to avoid a disaster not only

for their people, but also for the people of Sparks.
