Getrennt sind sie erbitterte Gegner - zusammen sind sie eine Legende: Day und June Los Angeles im Jahr 2130: Der ehemalige Westen der USA ist mittlerweile Die Republik, die sich im ständigen Krieg mit ihren Nachbarn befindet. Als Kind wohlhabender Eltern ist die fünfzehnjährige June hochbegabt und sie ist die vielversprechendste Soldatin der Republik. Day stammt aus den Slums und ist mit fünfzehn Jahren der meistgesuchte Verbrecher des Landes. Der erbitterte Wunsch nach Rache am Tod ihres Bruders führt June auf Days Spur. Day erweist sich als loyal und selbstlos angetrieben von einem unerschütterlichen Gerechtigkeitssinn. June beginnt die Welt durch seine Augen zu sehen ... 'Ich werde dich finden. Ich werde die Straßen von Los Angeles nach dir durchkämmen. Jede Straße der Republik, wenn es sein muss. Ich werde dich in die Irre führen und überlisten, ich werde lügen, betrügen und stehlen, um dich zu finden, dich aus deinem Versteck locken und dich jagen, bis es keinen Ort mehr gibt, an den du fliehen kannst. Das verspreche ich dir: Dein Leben gehört mir.'
Das Spiel um die Macht hat begonnen. June und Day - die ehemalige Elitesoldatin und der meistgesuchte Rebell der Republik - verbünden sich nach ihrer Flucht mit den Patrioten. Als Held, der den Schergen der Republik entkommen ist, wird Day vom Volk verehrt. Und als dieser Held gerät er zwischen die Fronten. Auf der einen Seite ist Anden, der inzwischen das Amt seines verstorbenen Vaters als neuer Elektor übernommen hat und der seine Macht festigen muss. Auf der anderen Seite steht General DeSoto, der charismatische Anführer der Patrioten, der den Elektor stürzen will. Auch June muss sich entscheiden und es muss ihr gelingen, Day zu überzeugen. Doch wem können sie vertrauen? Liegt ihre Zukunft in den Kolonien?
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu comes a historical YA fantasy about a musical prodigy and the dangerous lengths she'll go to make history remember her--perfect for fans of Susanna Clarke and The Hazel Wood.
Two siblings. Two brilliant talents. But only one Mozart.
Born with a gift for music, Nannerl Mozart has just one wish--to be remembered forever. But even as she delights audiences with her masterful playing, she has little hope she'll ever become the acclaimed composer she longs to be. She is a young woman in 18th century Europe, and that means composing is forbidden to her. She will perform only until she reaches a marriageable age--her tyrannical father has made that much clear.
And as Nannerl's hope grows dimmer with each passing year, the talents of her beloved younger brother, Wolfgang, only seem to shine brighter. His brilliance begins to eclipse her own, until one day a mysterious stranger from a magical land appears with an irresistible offer. He has the power to make her wish come true--but his help may cost her everything.
In her first work of historical fiction, #1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu spins a lush, lyrically-told story of music, magic, and the unbreakable bond between a brother and sister.
