"I ain't afeared of nuthin."

Saba's twin is golden. She is his living shadow.

He is strong and beautiful. She is scrawny and dark.

Nothing will separate them...

Raised in isolated Silverlake, Saba is ignorant of the harsh and
violent world beyond her home. But when her twin is snatched by
black-robed riders, red rage fills her soul.

How will Saba find him in a wild, scorching and lawless land?
Racing across the cruel dustlands to find him, she can spare no one.
Not even the boy who saves her life. She must silence her heart
to survive.

Blood will spill.

• Every step of Saba's journey sizzles with danger in this futuristic
thriller, which beats with a powerful, red-blooded heart.

of its fabulously damaged world, its unforgettably vivid characters,
its violent action and glorious love story make this a truly
sensational YA debut novel

with emotion... If a better book for teenagers is published this
year, I'll be surprised." The Times

"Has an elemental power, unfolding across achingly barren
landscapes, full of blistering hotwinds and swirling clouds of orange
dust." New York Times
