Ruby never asked for the abilities that almost cost her her life. Now she must call upon them on a daily basis, leading dangerous missions to bring down a corrupt government and breaking into the minds of her enemies. Other kids in the Children’s League call Ruby “Leader”, but she knows what she really is: a monster.

When Ruby is entrusted with an explosive secret, she must embark on her most dangerous mission yet: leaving the Children’s League behind. Crucial information about the disease that killed most of America’s children — and turned Ruby and the others who lived into feared and hated outcasts — has survived every attempt to destroy it. But the truth is only saved in one place: a flashdrive in the hands of Liam Stewart, the boy Ruby once believed was her future — and who now wouldn’t recognize her.

As Ruby sets out across a desperate, lawless country to find Liam — and answers about the catastrophe that has ripped both her life and America apart — she is torn between old friends and the promise she made to serve the League. Ruby will do anything to protect the people she loves. But what if winning the war means losing herself?

Alexandra Bracken

Alexandra Bracken’s journey from a young girl immersed in a world of fantasy and imagination to a USA Today bestselling author is one built on a love for storytelling that began at a very early age. Born in Phoenix, Arizona, and raised in the vibrant world of conventions and pop culture, she grew up surrounded by the magic of science fiction and adventure, which laid the perfect foundation for her future as an author of captivating young adult novels.

Her writing career began as many great stories do—by accident. What started as a birthday gift for a friend soon transformed into Brightly Woven, her debut novel, which launched her into the literary world. Written during her college years at the College of William & Mary, the book, a blend of adventure and romance, garnered attention for its richly imagined world and the strength of its characters, earning her recognition as a debut author to watch.

But it was The Darkest Minds series, which she began in 2012, that truly solidified Alexandra’s place in the hearts of young adult readers. Combining dystopian elements with paranormal abilities, the series tapped into themes of survival, resilience, and the power of change. Its success led to a 2018 film adaptation, while her subsequent series Passenger and Wayfarer further cemented her reputation for creating worlds where love, time, and destiny collide.

Known for her ability to blend heart-pounding adventure with emotionally resonant characters, Bracken's work is more than just fiction—it’s an invitation into worlds where readers can lose themselves, drawn into the very dilemmas, friendships, and dreams that shape us. With Lore, a stand-alone novel inspired by Greek mythology, and Silver in the Bone, a new series exploring myth and magic, Alexandra continues to push the boundaries of her storytelling, keeping fans eagerly anticipating each new release.

Now living in her hometown of Phoenix, Alexandra is as devoted to her craft as ever. Whether she’s writing, reading, or simply living the quiet life, her passion for storytelling remains at the heart of everything she does. Her books are an invitation to escape, to dream, and to see the world in a new light—always with that distinct blend of adventure, wonder, and emotion that makes her work so irresistible.

From The Darkest Minds to Silver in the Bone, Alexandra Bracken's novels offer more than just thrilling adventures—they provide readers with a chance to experience magic, love, and the ever-present power of transformation.
