From the New York Times bestseller of DivergentA thrilling, profoundly moving science fiction retelling of the Greek tragedy Antigone filled with inevitable doom, heart-break and one final act of courage
A razor-sharp and beautifully heart-rending reimagining of a classic from #1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth.
Outside the last city on Earth, the planet is a wasteland. Without the genes of the fallen, humanity will end.
Antigone's parents have been murdered, leaving her father's throne vacant. Passing into the Archive should be cause for celebration, but with her militant uncle Kreon rising to claim her father's vacant throne, all Antigone feels is rage. When he welcomes her and her siblings into his mansion, Antigone sees it for what it really is: a gilded cage, where she is a captive as well as a guest.
But her uncle will soon learn that no cage is unbreakable. And neither is he.
