Synopsis

'Arclight will keep you up all night, if you dare to stay awake.' - Pittacus Lore, author of New York Times best-seller I am Number Four.

An intense, action-packed page-turner - electrifying sequel to the darkly compulsive Arclight.

Those within the Arc thought they were the last humans left after the world was destroyed ― but they were wrong.

Marina thought she had solved all of the Arclight’s mysteries. She found her own history - and that the Fade are not exactly the enemies they had thought them to be. But there is so much more that Marina is only discovering now. There are more survivors. But there is also more to be afraid of - and there are dangers that even the Fade fear...

This heart-stopping teen thriller is perfect for fans of Veronica Roth's young adult series Divergent and Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games.

Josin L McQuein was born and raised in Texas, where she used writing as a way to escape when she needed a break from caring for ailing relatives. Now she and her three crazy dogs live in a town so small the buffalo outnumber the people, and things like subways or consistent internet access are fictional creations of the faraway fantasy-land known as civilization. Arclight is her first novel.

From the Back Cover:

The Arclight refugees thought they were the only survivors.
But they were wrong. More people are out there, somewhere. But so are more terrifying dangers. The Fade--the creatures that destroyed civilization--are not finished.

They thought she was their last hope.
And they might be right. Marina may be the one who can save them. If she doesn't lead them straight into disaster.

The Arclight has secrets.
The base is supposed to keep them safe, but it is hiding secrets darker and older than Marina and her friends realize.

Don't go to sleep.
It's in your nightmares that the Fade will find you.
