Together they must challenge the evil queen, who will stop at nothing to make Prince Kai her husband, her king, her prisoner. As Scarlet and Wolf expose one mystery, they encounter Cinder and a new one unravels.

"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.īook Description Paperback. Even without the major promotional campaign, teens will be waiting for this follow-up. And which fairy tale will Meyer morph next? HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Cinder (2012), the first title in the Lunar Chronicles, was a New York Times best-seller. With at least one more Lunar Chronicle to come, the suspense continues.
Readers will be pushed into a horrific alternate universe where violence, especially mind manipulation and control, create ethical and life-threatening situations for both teens. It’s another Marissa Meyer roller-coaster ride, part science fiction/fantasy, part political machinations with a hint of romance. Only when Scarlet meets the violent yet attractive Wolf, an alpha human with animal instincts, is she on the trail of her beloved grand-mère, and a trajectory that intersects with Cinder’s attempt to save the earth by foiling Lunar Queen Levana’s marriage to Emperor Kai.
Her grandmother has disappeared and is surely in danger the officers speculate that the eccentric old woman has wandered off. Scarlet, on the other hand, is trying desperately to gain the police’s attention. After her midnight fall down the palace steps and her imprisonment, Cinder is a media sensation, escaping the New Beijing prison with Captain Carswell Thorne, a handsome if rather clueless petty thief. *Starred Review* Cinder, the beautiful lunar cyborg mechanic, is back, this time in what initially appears to be parallel story lines with Scarlet, the granddaughter of a former military pilot turned farmer in the small town of Rieux, France.
