"History is on repeat, and things didn't go so well the last time. "
Alexandria
isn't sure she's going to make it to her eighteenth birthday--to her
Awakening. A long-forgotten, fanatical order is out to kill her, and if
the Council ever discovers what she did in the Catskills, she's a
goner . . . and so is Aiden.
If that's not freaky enough, whenever
Alex and Seth spend time "training"--which really is just Seth's code
word for some up-close and personal one-on-one time--she ends up with
another mark of the Apollyon, which brings her one step closer to
Awakening ahead of schedule. Awesome.
But as her birthday draws
near, her entire world shatters with a startling revelation and she's
caught between love and Fate. One will do anything to protect her. One
has been lying to her since the beginning. Once the gods have revealed
themselves, unleashing their wrath, lives will be irrevocably changed . . .
and destroyed.
Those left standing will discover if love is truly greater than Fate . . .
From #1 New
York Times bestselling author Karen Marie Moning comes the first book in
her hotly anticipated new urban paranormal trilogy, set in the world of
her blockbuster Fever series.
The year is 1 AWC—After
the Wall Crash. The Fae are free and hunting us. It’s a war zone out
there, and no two days are alike. I’m Dani O’Malley, the chaos-filled
streets of Dublin are my home, and there’s no place I’d rather be.
Dani
“Mega” O’Malley plays by her own set of rules—and in a world overrun by
Dark Fae, her biggest rule is: Do what it takes to survive. Possessing
rare talents and the all-powerful Sword of Light, Dani is more than
equipped for the task. In fact, she’s one of the rare humans who can
defend themselves against the Unseelie. But now, amid the pandemonium,
her greatest gifts have turned into serious liabilities.
Dani’s
ex–best friend, MacKayla Lane, wants her dead, the terrifying Unseelie
princes have put a price on her head, and Inspector Jayne, the head of
the police force, is after her sword and will stop at nothing to get it.
What’s more, people are being mysteriously frozen to death all over the
city, encased on the spot in sub-zero, icy tableaux.
When
Dublin’s most seductive nightclub gets blanketed in hoarfrost, Dani
finds herself at the mercy of Ryodan, the club’s ruthless, immortal
owner. He needs her quick wit and exceptional skill to figure out what’s
freezing Fae and humans dead in their tracks—and Ryodan will do
anything to ensure her compliance.
Dodging bullets, fangs, and
fists, Dani must strike treacherous bargains and make desperate
alliances to save her beloved Dublin—before everything and everyone in
it gets iced.

Can the living coexist with the living dead?
That’s the question that has New Victorian society fiercely divided
ever since the mysterious plague known as “The Laz” hit the city of New
London and turned thousands into walking corpses. But while some of
these zombies are mindless monsters, hungry for human flesh, others can
still think, speak, reason, and control their ravenous new appetites.
Just ask Nora Dearly, the young lady of means who was nearly kidnapped
by a band of sinister zombies but valiantly rescued by a dashing young
man . . . of the dead variety.
Nora and her savior, the young zombie soldier Bram Griswold, fell
hopelessly in love. But others feel only fear and loathing for the
reanimated dead. Now, as tensions grow between pro- and anti-zombie
factions, battle lines are being drawn in the streets. And though Bram
is no longer in the New Victorian army, he and his ex-commando zombie
comrades are determined to help keep the peace. That means taking a
dangerous stand between The Changed, a radical group of sentient zombies
fighting for survival, and The Murder, a masked squad of urban
guerrillas hellbent on destroying the living dead. But zombies aren’t
the only ones in danger: Their living allies are also in The Murder’s
crosshairs, and for one vengeful zealot, Nora Dearly is the number one
target.
As paranoia, prejudice, and terrorist attacks threaten to plunge the
city into full-scale war, Nora’s scientist father and his team continue
their desperate race to unlock the secrets of “The Laz” and find a cure.
But their efforts may be doomed when a mysterious zombie appears
bearing an entirely new strain of the illness—and the nation of New
Victoria braces for a new wave of the apocalypse.
Lia Habel’s spellbinding, suspenseful sequel to Dearly, Departed
takes her imaginative mash-up of period romance, futuristic thriller,
and zombie drama to a whole new level of innovative and irresistible
storytelling.
