SHATTER CITY

Scott Westerfeld

Frey is once more impersonating her sister Rafi -- this time, to save Col, the boy she loves and the heir to the city of Victoria.
In the wake of a rebel attack, Frey and Col make it to the peaceful city of Paz, where citizens have the option to be implanted with "feels" -- buttons on their wrist that allows them to switch emotions at will. Paz was the last place Rafi was seen before she ran away under mysterious circumstances. But before Frey can find Rafi, their father unleashes a terrible weapon on Paz and leaves the city in ruins.

But his motives are far more sinister than even Frey could suspect. With allies old and new, Frey will have to use all her training as an impostor to keep her father from expanding his empire until there isn't a free city left.

Master storyteller Scott Westerfeld raises the stakes in this unputdownable second installment set in the same world as his mega-bestselling UGLIES - a world full of twists, turns, rebellion, and intrigue, where any wrong step could be Frey's last.

Scott Westerfeld is the author of The New York Times bestselling LEVIATHAN series, AFTERWORLDS, the UGLIES series, THE LAST DAYS, PEEPS, SO YESTERDAY, and the MIDNIGHTERS trilogy.
