Marissa Meyer – författare

Tredje boken i The Lunar Chronicles!

Cinder och kapten Thorne är på rymmen med Scarlet och Wolf i släptåg. Tillsammans planerar de att störta drottning Levana och hennes armé. Deras största hopp ligger hos Cress, som sedan barnsben varit instängd i en satellit med bara dataskärmar som sällskap. All denna tid framför datorer har gjort henne till en lysande hacker. Men tyvärr har hon precis fått order från Levana om att spåra upp Cinder och hennes snygge medbrottsling... När ett våghalsigt räddningsförsök slår fel splittras gruppen. Cress får till sist sin frihet, men den visar sig ha ett högt pris. Samtidigt kommer drottning Levana inte att låta något stå i vägen för sitt äktenskap med kejsare Kai. Cress, Scarlet och Cinder har inte precis bett om att få rädda världen. Men de är nog de enda som kan göra det.   Cress är en futuristisk version av sagan om Rapunzel. Ett oförglömligt äventyr i en värld befolkad av människor, cyborger och androider.

Andra boken i The Lunar Chronicles!

I Scarlet återser vi Cinder, som nu försöker fly från det fängelse där vi sist lämnade henne - trots att det kommer att göra henne till den mest jagade personen i hela Samväldet. På andra sidan jorden söker Scarlet Benoit - en tuff fransk tjej som inte drar sig för att bära pistol - efter sin försvunna mormor. Och det visar sig att det är mycket hon inte känt till om sin mormor eller den livsfara hon levt i under hela sitt liv. När Scarlet träffar Wolf, en streetsmart slagskämpe som tycks veta en del om hennes mormor, har hon svårt att lita på honom. Samtidigt känner hon sig oförklarligt dragen till honom - och han till henne. Scarlet är en futuristisk version av sagan om Rödluvan. Ett oförglömligt äventyr i en värld befolkad av människor, cyborger och androider.
