Ripped away from those she loves most, Tess is heartbroken
as her small band of travelers reaches the Isolationist camp in the mysterious
and barren Middlelands. Desperate to be reunited with James, the forbidden
chosen one who stole her heart, she wants nothing to do with the rough
Isolationists, who are without allegiance in the war between the Westerners and
Easterners. But having their protection, especially for someone as powerful as
Tess, may come at a cost.
When James returns, Tess’s world once again feels
complete—until she discovers her sister, Louisa, has taken up her old post at
Templeton, the dangerous chosen ones training center and the site of Tess’s
loss of innocence. Tess will do anything to protect her loved ones—but will the
price be more than she can give?
This second book in Tiffany Truitt’s dystopian
series is a thought-provoking, thrilling story that asks who the true enemy
really is—the chosen ones who are different, or the naturals…who are just like
us.
About Tiffany:
Tiffany Truitt was born in Peoria, Illinois. A
self-proclaimed Navy brat, Tiffany spent most of her childhood living in
Virginia, but don’t call her a Southerner. She also spent a few years living in
Cuba. Since her time on the island of
one McDonalds and Banana Rats (don’t ask), she has been obsessed with
traveling. Tiffany recently added China to her list of travels (hello
inspiration for a new book).
Besides traveling, Tiffany has always been an avid reader.
The earliest books she remembers reading belong to The Little House on the
Prairie Series. First book she read in one day? Little Woman (5th grade). First
author she fell in love with? Jane Austen in middle school. Tiffany spent most
of her high school and college career as a literary snob. She refused to read
anything considered “low brow” or outside the “classics.”
Tiffany began teaching middle school in 2006. Her students
introduced her to the wide, wonderful world of Young Adult literature. Today,
Tiffany embraces popular Young Adult literature and uses it in her classroom.
She currently teaches the following novels: The Outsiders, Speak, Night,
Dystopian Literature Circles: The Hunger Games, The Giver, The Uglies, and
Matched.
