The scorching third volume in a new series set in the #1 global bestselling Shatter Me universe ten years after the fall of The Reestablishment.
James Anderson needs a new plan. He’s ready to make real moves to destroy the looming threats against their world, but no one is taking him seriously. James is tired of being underestimated by his own family. He wants five uninterrupted minutes alone with Rosabelle. He wants to kill Sebastian.
And he’s done waiting for permission.
Rosabelle Wolff needs to stick to the plan. Which means she needs to stay away from James and the dangerous feelings he brings out in her. When she’s near him she loses control, and she’ll need absolute control if she has any hope of convincing Sebastian—and through him, Klaus—that she’s still carrying out the original plan to destroy the rebel regime.
In the meantime, Warner needs to stay out of her business.
Aaron Warner Anderson is trying not to kill Rosabelle. They might be reluctant allies, but that doesn’t mean they get along. Every day is a new kind of hell for Warner. He’s worried about his wife; he’s worried about his world. He can’t decide what to do about James until he understands Rosabelle’s true motives—and when he’s finally delivered the answers he needs, the stakes prove astronomical. All roads lead to heartbreak and destruction, no matter what choice he makes.
Gut-wrenching discoveries, blistering romance, non-stop explosive action, and a world determined to control their thoughts and actions:
When the eyes of the world are upon you, who do you hope is watching?

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.
