From best-selling Lockwood & Co. author Jonathan Stroud, comes a new swashbuckling adventure series of audacious CRIMES and DARING exploits! This is a series of racing adventure, involving gun fights, scenes of suspence, villains and even... CANNIBALS.
Meet Scarlett McCain and Albert Browne -- our two VERY different protagonists who will need each other and to work together to survive... Scarlett is ever so practical and has no problem beating up whoever gets in her way (or on her nerves...); Albert is most likely to get killed first in any situation of danger, but always has a joke at the ready.
Together, they face a stripped-down England, where catastrophes have taken down cities, to the point where even London is nothing but a lagoon. Fortified towns have replaced the cities, and unknown beasts are free in the wilderness, ready to pounce on whoever crosses their path. In order to survive in the apocalyptic-like world, one must obey strict rules. Those who don't...are eliminated. Scarlett and Albert are outlaws, and to live the lives they want for themselves, they will have to defy all rules, outwit their pursuers and defy death as they carry out heists across the Seven Kingdoms.
They will have to survive if they want a chance to save those dear to them...
This amazing, suspenseful and breathtaking new series is perfect for fans of Dystopian Novels, The Hunger Games, Maze Runner and Divergent books.
