A DARKLY THRILLING DYSTOPIAN SAGA BEGINS. WHAT IF HAVING A CHANCE TO SAVE HUMANITY MEANT BECOMING WHAT YOU HATE AND FEAR MOST? TO SURVIVE IN A RUINED WORLD, SHE MUST EMBRACE THE DARKNESS...Allison Sekemoto survives in the Fringe, the outermost circle of a walled-in city. By day, she and her crew scavenge for food. By night, any one of them could be eaten. Some days, all that drives Allie is her hatred of them - the vampires who keep humans as blood cattle. Until the night Allie herself dies...and becomes one of the monsters. Forced to flee her city, Allie must pass for human as she joins a ragged group of pilgrims seeking a legend - a place that might have a cure for the disease that killed off most of civilization and created the rabids, the bloodthirsty creatures who threaten human and vampire alike. And soon Allie will have to decide what - and who - is worth dying for...again. Enter Julie Kagawa's dark and twisted world as an unforgettable dystopian journey begins. "A fresh and imaginative thrill-ride." - Publishers Weekly, starred review "Kagawa...mixes paranormal and dystopian tropes to good effect, creating a world that will appeal across audiences." - Kirkus Reviews
