He was known as the Dark One, and his weapon of choice--catastrophic events known as Drains--leveled cities and claimed thousands of lives. Chosen Ones, as the teens were known, gave everything they had to defeat him.After the Dark One fell, the world went back to normal . . . for everyone but them. After all, what do you do when youre the most famous people on Earth, your only education was in magical destruction, and your purpose in life is now fulfilled?Of the five, Sloane has had the hardest time adjusting. Everyone else blames the PTSD--and her huge attitude problem--but really, shes hiding secrets from them . . . secrets that keep her tied to the past and alienate her from the only four people in the world who understand her.On the tenth anniversary of the Dark Ones defeat, something unthinkable happens: one of the Chosen Ones dies. When the others gather for the funeral, they discover the Dark Ones ultimate goal was much bigger than they, the government, or even prophecy could have foretold--bigger than the world itself.And this time, fighting back might take more than Sloane has to give. Author Biography VERONICA ROTH is the #1 New York Times best-selling author of the Divergent series (Divergent, Insurgent, Allegiant, and Four: A Divergent Collection) and the Carve the Mark duology (Carve the Mark, The Fates Divide), and Chosen Ones. She is a board member of YALLFest, the biggest YA book festival in the country, and YALLWEST, its sister festival. She lives in Chicago, Illinois. Review "Roths first novel for adults (after the wildly popular Divergent series for teens) is driven by Sloane, a stubbornly unlikable heroine who wears her troubles on her sleeve but doesnt truly understand her full power until the shocking ending. Those who like twisty power plays and very detailed worldbuilding will appreciate this . . . The many fans of Roths YA series will be clamoring for her adult debut, which features magic, lots of sarcasm, and a hint of romance." -- Booklist Review Quote "With Chosen Ones, Veronica Roth has pulled off a virtuoso performance, conjuring a stunning thriller/fantasy/sci-fi chimera like nothing Ive read before, a story of ex-heroes struggling with the trauma of their past, what it means to have once saved the world, and the dark side of destiny." --Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Recursion "Roth somehow manages to make universe-building look easy. She sets it all up--world, characters, premise--so smoothly that you hardly notice until youre a hundred pages in and hurtling down the tracks. An insightful exploration of desire and ambition that also touches on broader societal topics, including celebrity, social media, trauma and recovery. A thought-provoking novel with ample emotion and a sense of playfulness with form. And one more thing: when the inevitable adaptation of Chosen Ones hits the screen someday, I just hope it captures Roths fascinating and original theory of magic." --Charles Yu, author of Interior Chinatown Details ISBN0358164087 Pages 432 Language English Year 2020 ISBN-10 0358164087 ISBN-13 9780358164081 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2020-04-07 UK Release Date 2020-04-07 Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2020-04-07 NZ Release Date 2020-04-07 US Release Date 2020-04-07 Author Veronica Roth Subtitle The New Novel from New York Times Best-Selling Author Veronica Roth Publisher William Morrow & Company Imprint William Morrow & Company DEWEY 813.6 Audience General Imprint US William Morrow Publisher US HarperCollins We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
