This is book 3 of The Glass Sky Series. Read the harrowing conclusion to this gripping futuristic, genre-blending fantasy series filled with stunning twists in a mesmerizing world. Twisted bargains with the fae, a corrupt regime with magical prisons, unauthorized genetic engineering, and did I mention robots, too? Seriously, what could go wrong? Sometimes insanity makes things remarkably simple. Especially for a girl like me, Star Rickton. This isn’t a world I ever wanted to live in. It’s where being female is reason enough to be locked up and enchanted, and where using magic can strip people of their humanity. Humans and Fae once lived and worked together harmoniously for we are not so different. Yet, now, we destroy what we both hold dear and wreak havoc on one another without the thought of serious consequences. Like annihilation? Pretty much. I’m determined to figure this out but if I can’t get it together, this time we might be all out of luck for good.

This collection includes all three books of The Glass Sky Series, an adventurous fairytale-reimagining full of magic, romance, and legends that’s perfect for fans of Harry Potter, The Cruel Prince, and The Hunger Games. Star’s life is far from what she thought when she discovers she’s just a pawn in a delusional society and there’s more than one sinister plot at work. Secrets and lies show her the hard truth of a dying human race where females are scarce and controlled with an iron fist. Star was supposed to choose a suitor at the annual coupling ball or risk being cut off by her parents. The last thing she wants to do is marry a guy she just met. When a vicious attack destroys the governor's mansion, where the ball is held, Star is saved by a handsome stranger named Clyde, who seems to know more than he lets on. They escape the devastating insurgent takeover and head to an underground city hidden from the world above and filled with intrigue and legends. A magical prison, faery bargains, and a grueling journey through the center of the Earth, where magic and malice reside test Star’s resolve and unveil secrets long forgotten. Placing her fate in the hands of the most unlikely strangers doesn’t seem logical, but if she’s to escape those who wish to cage her and others like her, all hearts will be tested.
