Storm Breaker: The gripping new dystopian romantasy from the bestselling author of The Trial of the Sun Queen

Brought to you by Penguin.

PLEDGE YOUR HOUSE. PLAY YOUR PART. FULFIL YOUR DESTINY.

Prepare for sparks. Your next dystopian obsession begins. . .

Divergent meets The Hunger Games at Amery Academy: a glittering, exclusive private school governed by elite societies in a post-apocalyptic Manhattan. Surrounded by wastelands and plagued with violent storms, survival won’t be easy.

For nineteen-year-old Poet Graves, New Manhattan has always promised safety—if she obeys. Raised within the ruling Houses and betrothed to a powerful heir, she enters Amery Academy knowing her future has already been decided.

But Amery is nothing like she imagined. Its trials are brutal, its loyalties conditional, and its rules designed to expose weakness. As Poet struggles to survive, she must hide the truth that could get her executed: the storms don’t fear her—they answer back.

When a dangerous outsider from beyond the city walls enters the academy, Poet is drawn to him despite everything she’s been taught to believe. He threatens the life she’s been promised. And choosing him could cost her not just her future, but her freedom.

A gripping dystopian romance filled with forbidden power, ruthless challenges, and a heroine who refuses to burn quietly.
