Their Fractured Light

by Amie Kaufman, Meagan Spooner Narrated by Kim Mai Guest, MacLeod Andrews

Overview

A year ago, Flynn Cormac and Jubilee Chase made the now infamous Avon Broadcast, calling on the galaxy to witness for their planet, and protect them from destruction. Some say Flynn's a madman, others whisper about conspiracies. Nobody knows the truth. A year before that, Tarver Merendsen and Lilac LaRoux were rescued from a terrible shipwreck-now, they live a public life in front of the cameras, and a secret life away from the world's gaze.

Now, in the center of the universe on the planet of Corinth, all four are about to collide with two new players, who will bring the fight against LaRoux Industries to a head. Gideon Marchant is an eighteen-year-old computer hacker known in Corinth's underworld as The Knave of Hearts. He'll climb, abseil and worm his way past the best security measures to pull off onsite hacks that others don't dare touch.

Sofia Quinn has a killer smile, and by the time you're done noticing it, she's got you offering up your wallet, your car, and anything else she desires. She holds LaRoux Industries responsible for the mysterious death of her father and is out for revenge at any cost.

When a LaRoux Industries security breach interrupts Gideon and Sofia's separate attempts to infiltrate their headquarters, they're forced to work together to escape. Each of them has their own reason for wanting to take down LaRoux Industries, and neither trusts the other. But working together might be the best chance they have to expose the secrets LRI is so desperate to hide.

Read by Kim Mai Guest and MacLeod Andrews, with Cynthia Holloway and Abby Craden.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

PRAISE FOR THESE BROKEN STARS

*"Lilac and Tarver are characters of depth, complexity, and strength, young people who alternatively elicit the reader's admiration, frustration, and sympathy... a testament to love, loyalty, courage, and the power of good over dystopian greed and perversity."—Booklist, starred review

PRAISE FOR THIS SHATTERED WORLD"

Kaufman and Spooner propose two well-developed protagonists and a well-rounded cast of supporting characters... Fans of the first book, as well as those who like impossible romance between two people on opposing sides, will enjoy this sequel."—VOYA

PRAISE FOR THIS SHATTERED WORLD"

Kaufman and Spooner prove that their first brilliant installment was no fluke with this strong second outing. They provide complex characters and a situation with no simple solution. There is action, a spark of romance, and a mystery, all set on a fully-realized planet. This should have broad appeal among teen and adult science fiction readers."—School Library Journal

PRAISE FOR THIS SHATTERED WORLD"

The authors' world building, their ability to combine unique and familiar themes, their talent for sustaining dual voices in the midst of romance and tension create a companion series that promises another world, another adventure, and, if we're lucky, another set of lovers, this time on Corinth."—Booklist

PRAISE FOR THESE BROKEN STARS"

Kaufman and Spooner's debut collaboration is a stunning, gorgeously imagined romance with epic sweep, brimming with lush detail of setting and intricate character study. It's the kind of read to savor, but the survivalist plotting still rushes the reader to keep turning pages."—Ingram Library Group

PRAISE FOR THESE BROKEN STARS"

One of the most intense, thrilling, and achingly beautiful stories I've ever read."—Marie Lu, New York Times best-selling author of the Legend trilogy
