Description
Ava Reid’s epic standalone dystopian romance is perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and The Last of Us. By encouraging massive accumulations of debt, a single corporation, Caerus, controls every aspect of society. Inesa lives with her brother in a half-sunken town, barely making a living from their taxidermy shop. But their mother has secretly accumulated enormous debt, and the only way out is to offer her daughter as a sacrifice for Caerus’s livestreamed assassination event, the Lamb’s Gauntlet. Melinoe is the assassin chosen for this spectacle. The product of years of neural reconditioning and physiological alteration, she is a living weapon, famous for her cold brutality and deadly beauty. She is also haunted by her failure in the previous gauntlet, when she broke down live on screen. As Mel pursues Inesa across the wasteland, each determined to claim victory, they begin to question what they have been taught. Could there be more to life than survival? Could they be capable of more than death? And, against all the odds, could they be falling in love?
