ONE FOR SORROW, TWO MEANS DEATH. In the Barrenlands of Wrath, no one dies of old age. Kyle is used to its harsh laws, but the cold-blooded separation of identical twins and execution of the 'evil twists' at the Annual Peace Fair shocks him. When Kyle himself is betrayed, he flees for his life with the reluctant help of Sky, a rebel pilot with a hidden agenda. As the hunt intensifies, Kyle soon realises that he is no ordinary runaway, although he has no idea why. Fighting to learn the hideous truth, their reluctant, conflicted partnership will either save them - or kill them.

What price for peace on Wrath? The blood-curdling sequel to science-fiction epic The Sign of One. Hiding out in a Gemini stronghold, Kyle is finding out that being a hero is a bit of a let-down. The rebels may have struck a blow against the Slayer army, but victory is far from won and Wrath is as hostile as ever. Kyle finds himself caught between his ident brother Colm, who he saved from certain death, and his friend Sky, who is desperate to follow up a trail that may or may not lead to her lost sister. When the Slayers offer a peace deal with a sting in its tail, the rebels are split into factions – with Kyle at its centre. There’s no choice but to run – and this time the path leads deep into Reaper territory, into the No-Zone. Eugene Lambert is a graduate of Bath Spa’s MA in Writing for Young People. His first novel, The Sign of One, was shortlisted for the Bath Novel Award. Falling somewhere between Mad Max, Star Wars and John Wyndham's The Chrysalids, it's a perfect young adult book series for readers who have enjoyed The Hunger Games, Michael Grant's GONE books and The Maze Runner.

Kyle and Sky may have fled Wrath but they are now marooned on a vast space station known as the Ark, working for a criminal gang of traffickers. Kyle hates the brutality, but the gangster high-life has tempting compensations for someone who grew up with nothing in the Barrenlands. Sky's health is deteriorating as she finally tracks down her sister, Tarn, but their reunion is far from smooth. When their Wrath past finally catches up with them, an encounter with the ruthless ComSec authorities leaves Kyle facing the cruelest choice of his young life. To save himself and his nublood species, he must risk losing Sky forever.
