The searing second volume in a new series set in the #1 global bestselling Shatter Me universe ten years after the fall of The Reestablishment.

Rosabelle Wolff had a plan. Now she wants revenge. To save her sister she needs to get back home and destroy the system that created her. Rosabelle’s greatest strength is her ability to deaden her mind and body; it’s the only way to survive the surveillance state of Ark Island. But lately her heart has been beating harder; her thoughts are spiraling; her defenses are coming undone.
And there’s only one person to blame.
James Anderson had a plan. Now he has nothing but problems. Rosabelle might be the ally they need in a fight against The Reestablishment, but no one wants to trust an enemy assassin. It doesn’t help that Rosabelle’s not much of a talker, doesn’t work well in groups, and kills people on instinct. Falling for her has cost James nearly everything—but keeping her safe might help save his world.
If only he could convince his older brother.
Aaron Warner Anderson has a headache. Something dark is coming, and Rosabelle’s arrival is just a prelude. In her, he sees shades of himself he can’t trust, and worse: he can no longer get a read on the girl. She’s a dead battery, emanating no emotional feedback. At least not until James walks into a room…
Volcanic romantic tension, breathless reveals, breakneck action—and a dystopian world that never stops raising the stakes:
Welcome back to The New Republic.

Read full series description

At its heart, this series plunges into the minds of characters trying to rebuild a world that nearly destroyed them. The New Republic is a place where survival is far from certain, and the battle for freedom is both personal and political. Every character is tested by their past, their powers, and the uncertain future they’re racing toward. It’s a series where the stakes aren’t just the survival of a regime—but the very survival of the people trying to make a new world for themselves.

The beauty of Shatter Me: The New Republic lies in its ability to blend a hauntingly vivid world with characters whose emotional depth makes every decision feel like life or death. You’ll find yourself drawn into their struggles, not just for freedom, but for understanding who they are when the lines between right and wrong blur in ways that can’t be undone.

Through unpredictable twists, a steadily building tension, and a rich exploration of power dynamics, Shatter Me: The New Republic offers a haunting reflection on resilience, loss, and what it truly means to fight for a future when you’re not even sure what that future looks like anymore. This series doesn't just tell a story—it challenges you to look beyond the surface and consider what it means to be free in a world that constantly threatens to break you.

The evocative prose and intricate world-building create an atmosphere that’s both immersive and unsettling, pulling you deeper into a narrative that feels both familiar and entirely new. In a world where nothing is as it seems and every choice has consequences, Shatter Me: The New Republic will keep you questioning who’s really in control—and whether anyone ever truly can be.
