Cinder meets The Dark Knight in this riveting sequel to the darkly suspenseful, reimagined superhero story The Brokenhearted.
Since Gavin's death, Anthem has tried to forget the heartache and betrayal, to feel normal once more. She doesn't want to be the crime-fighting vigilante that Bedlam City needs. She just wants to go to school, practice ballet, and help nurse Ford back to health. But while he is recovering from his life-saving surgery, the Ford she knew is slipping away.
Then a new subversive group, whose mysterious leader calls himself "the Invisible," starts attacking the North Side. The danger has never been closer to home, and Anthem can't sit idly by. Using her new strength, she begins to fight back, and be the hero she was meant to be. Soon, she is the Invisible's most sought-after enemy, and he is using everything at his disposal to have her found and captured. Will Anthem survive the biggest fight of her life?
- Enhanced Human Action: Anthem has superhuman strength and speed thanks to her new heart, but using her powers means giving up the normal life she desperately wants.
- Slow Burn Romance: Ford is alive, but the boy Anthem loves is fading. As she nurses him back to health, their connection is tested in ways neither of them expected.
- High-Stakes Dystopian World: In the gritty, divided metropolis of Bedlam City, a new threat emerges from the shadows to terrorize the wealthy North Side, and no one is safe.
- A Riveting Sequel: Perfect for fans of Marissa Meyer and gritty comic book heroes, the story that began in The Brokenhearted continues with even more suspense and heart-pounding twists.
