In the Afterlight

Alexandra Bracken

Book 3 of The Darkest Minds

The concluding volume of the Darkest Minds trilogy follows teenage Orange Ruby as she and the surviving Psi kids regroup after the fall of Los Angeles, working to expose a government conspiracy and liberate the camps still holding thousands of children like her. Reunited with Liam but entangled with his brother Cole, Ruby must wrestle with the fallout of tampering with Liam's memories while leading a final, dangerous push against the forces that created the camps. It is a YA dystopian sci-fi novel with an ongoing but understated romantic thread rather than an explicit one.
