Synopsis
A decade after the Karensa Federation crushed her homeland, Talin Kanami is a refugee in Mara — the last nation still standing against the Federation — and one of its elite Strikers, the warriors who hunt the monstrous Ghosts the enemy makes from captured prisoners.
Left mute by the trauma of her flight, Talin fights in silence, until a mysterious prisoner named Red is dragged in: the Federation's own greatest experiment, a half-man, half-machine weapon called the Skyhunter, who may prove to be Mara's salvation or its ruin. First in Marie Lu's Skyhunter duology.
