Synopsis
Crossed by Ally Condie
Rules are different outside the Society. Chasing down an uncertain
future, Cassia makes her way to the Outer Provinces in pursuit of Ky -
taken by the Society to his certain death - only to find that he has
escaped into the majestic, but treacherous, canyons. On this wild
frontier are glimmers of a different life and the enthralling promise of
rebellion. But even as Cassia sacrifices everything to reunite with Ky,
ingenious surprises from Xander may change the game once again.
Narrated from both Cassia's and Ky's points of view, this hotly
anticipated sequel to Matched will take them both to the edge of Society, where nothing is as
expected and crosses and double crosses make their path more twisted
than ever...
This title is the incredible sequel to acclaimed
international bestseller, Matched.
