The earth-shattering conclusion to Veronica Rossi's "masterpiece" Under the Never Sky trilogy and sequel to the New York Times bestselling Through the Ever Night (Examiner.com).

Their love and their leadership have been tested. Now it's time for Perry and Aria to unite the Dwellers and the Outsiders in one last desperate attempt to bring balance to their world.

The race to the Still Blue has reached a stalemate. Aria and Perry are determined to find this last safe-haven from the Aether storms before Sable and Hess do-and they are just as determined to stay together.

Meanwhile, time is running out to rescue Cinder, who was abducted by Hess and Sable for his unique abilities. And when Roar returns to camp, he is so furious with Perry that he won't even look at him, and Perry begins to feel like they have already lost.

Out of options, Perry and Aria assemble a team to mount an impossible rescue mission-because Cinder isn't just the key to unlocking the Still Blue and their only hope for survival, he's also their friend. And in a dying world, the bonds between people are what matter most.

In this final book in her stunning Under the Never Sky trilogy, Veronica Rossi raises the stakes to their absolute limit and brings her epic love story to an unforgettable close.

Author Event: Spring Into the Future (NYC)

Jessica attended the Washington DC tour stop, and I (Sana) was lucky enough to attend the New York City tour stop on April 15th. The authors in attendance were Tahereh Mafi, Lauren Oliver, Anna Carey, and Veronica Rossi. I've always enjoyed book signings. Authors can be some of the most vibrant people you can meet. And it's always nice to put a face behind the book series that you love and enjoy.

The New York City stop was at the lovely book store Books of Wonder. I've had the pleasure of attending previous book signings at Books of Wonder. I have always had an enjoyable experience. The employees at the store allow for personalization of books and allow you plenty of time with the authors. At other chain book stores, you can usually be rushed and sometimes not even say more than 2 words to the author. Or your book is pushed in front of the author before you are actually near the author to keep the line moving, and you don't even get the chance to say anything to the author. That's never the case at Books of Wonder. Everyone is given a plethora of time with the authors, and you are even allowed to take pictures with the authors.

Author Event: Spring Into The Future (DC)

On Saturday, April 14, I got to meet the incredible Tahereh Mafi (Shatter Me), Anna Carey (Eve) and Veronica Rossi (Under the Never Sky) at their Spring Into the Future event in Alexandria, VA (DC). This is the first book signing I've gone to by myself but I didn't really care because I really wanted to meet these wonderful authors and I definitely had an amazing time.
