The thrilling finale to the New York Times best-selling Young Elites series from "hit factory" Marie Lu.

There was once a time when darkness shrouded the world, and the darkness had a queen.

Adelina Amouteru is done suffering. She's turned her back on those who have betrayed her and achieved the ultimate revenge: victory. Her reign as the White Wolf has been a triumphant one, but with each conquest her cruelty only grows. The darkness within her has begun to spiral out of control, threatening to destroy all she's gained.

When a new danger appears, Adelina's forced to revisit old wounds, putting not only herself at risk but every Elite. In order to preserve her empire, Adelina and her Roses must join the Daggers on a perilous quest - though this uneasy alliance may prove to be the real danger.

Number one New York Times best-selling author Marie Lu concludes Adelina's story with this haunting and hypnotizing final installment to the Young Elites series.

Critic reviews

“Lu pivots from the ‘coming of age via romance’ formula to pry apart the many emotions that pass under the rubric of love...There’s nothing easy here, for Adelina or readers - there are no safe places where the pressures of betrayal, death threats, and rejection aren’t felt.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

"Readers should prepare to be captivated - and to look forward to a continuation of the Young Elites series.” (Booklist, starred review)

“A must for fans of...totally immersive fantasies.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

I dislike reading so much but after reading the young elites for high school, I became addicted. The storyline is of an antagonist which I love. It's written so well I cried and will probably everytime I read the end of this series. The development in the main character is done so well I am attached to her. So happy to find Marie Lu's books.

Only book series I can read over and over again.

One of the best book series ive ever seen tackling the fear and pain in the human psyche and how it will weaponize itself against you

Emotions

I don't usually react this way to a series I've read and enjoyed, from an author I like. But this book made no sense. It felt completely disjointed, with absolutely no resolution to all the main story lines - just dumb gimmicks to explain away everything that happened in books 1&2. I feel cheated. I've invested time listening to this series - I even re-listened to the first two books prior to this one. And now I wish I hadn't bothered.

Worst Book 3 EVER!!!

It really all makes sense in the end, and resonated beautifully. Don't pass up on this trilogy! The world and characters are remarkable, up untill the very last page.

Wonderful ending to a wonderful trilogy.
