Description: Chosen Ones by Veronica Roth Now in paperback, the New York Times best-selling adult debut from Veronica Roth, about what happens to heroes after they save the world FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "A hugely imagined, twisty, turning tale that leads through the labyrinths of magic and war to the center of the heart." -- Diana GabaldonTHE LAST THING SHE WANTED WAS TO GET BACK INTO THE HERO GAMETHE VILLAIN: The Dark One--probably not fun at parties, definitely cool with murder--was running around North America engulfing whole cities in supernatural chaos and destruction.THE HEROES: Five Chosen Ones--ordinary strangers with nothing in common--were recruited by the government because they fit the narrow criteria of a prophecy made by [redacted]. You know the rest...heroes fought villain, heroes defeated villain, and everything went back to normal.Only . . . not so much.Now, its ten years later, and Sloane Andrews, recovering Chosen One, has discovered that all the fame, gratitude, and parade floats in the world cant erase what she endured--what she had to do--to take down the Dark One. All she wants now is to be left alone, but that doesnt seem to be in the cards.As it turns out, that plan for annihilation set in motion by the Dark One? Its not finished yet. Last time, Sloane saved the day with a magical needle and a can-do attitude. This time, shes fresh out of both."A stunning thriller/fantasy/sci-fi chimera like nothing Ive read before." -- Blake Crouch Author Biography VERONICA ROTH is the #1 New York Times best-selling author of the Divergent series (Divergent, Insurgent, Allegiant, and Four: A Divergent Collection), the Carve the Mark duology (Carve the Mark, The Fates Divide), and many short stories and essays. Review "Roths first novel for adults (after the wildly popular Divergent series for teens) is driven by Sloane, a stubbornly unlikable heroine who wears her troubles on her sleeve but doesnt truly understand her full power until the shocking ending. Those who like twisty power plays and very detailed worldbuilding will appreciate this . . . The many fans of Roths YA series will be clamoring for her adult debut, which features magic, lots of sarcasm, and a hint of romance." -- Booklist Review Quote "Roth ( The End and Other Beginnings: Stories from the Future (2019), etc.) made her name by writing best-selling YA action/adventure novels like the Divergent series, so it makes sense that she can so expertly deconstruct those tropes for adult audiences. Theres a lot of magic and action to make for a propulsive plot, but much more impressive are the character studies as Roth takes recognizable and beloved teen-hero types and explores what might happen to them as adults. Roth makes a bold entrance to adult fantasy." -- Kirkus Review, starred review "With Chosen Ones , Veronica Roth keeps you guessing: playing with perception, multiverse theory, and the struggles that go along with being chosen to save the world . . . Shes created a universe that you never want to leave." --Amber Benson, author of The Witches of Echo Park "A hugely imagined, twisty, turning tale that leads through the labyrinths of magic and war to the center of the heart." --Diana Gabaldon, author of Go Tell the Bees That I am Gone from the New York Times best-selling Outlander series. " Chosen Ones by Veronica Roth is the cure for all those humdrum one true savior narratives. This dark, complex novel rocked my heart and left me with a renewed sense that saving the world is a job that never ends. Roths version of magic is as flawed and fascinating as her characters, and her story keeps you guessing until the wild conclusion. Youll never look at fantasy heroes the same way again." --Charlie Jane Anders, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of The City in the Middle of the Night "With Chosen Ones, Veronica Roth has pulled off a virtuoso performance, conjuring a stunning thriller/fantasy/sci-fi chimera like nothing Ive read before, a story of ex-heroes struggling with the trauma of their past, what it means to have once saved the world, and the dark side of destiny." --Blake Crouch, New York Times best-selling author of Recursion "Roth somehow manages to make universe-building look easy. She sets it all up--world, characters, premise--so smoothly that you hardly notice until youre a hundred pages in and hurtling down the tracks. An insightful exploration of desire and ambition that also touches on broader societal topics, including celebrity, social media, trauma, and recovery. A thought-provoking novel with ample emotion and a sense of playfulness with form. And one more thing: when the inevitable adaptation of Chosen Ones hits the screen someday, I just hope it captures Roths fascinating and original theory of magic." --Charles Yu, author of Interior Chinatown Details ISBN0358451175 Short Title Chosen Ones Pages 432 Language English Year 2021 ISBN-10 0358451175 ISBN-13 9780358451174 Format Paperback Publication Date 2021-06-01 Subtitle The New Novel from NEW YORK TIMES Best-Selling Author Veronica Roth UK Release Date 2021-06-01 Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2021-06-01 NZ Release Date 2021-06-01 US Release Date 2021-06-01 Author Veronica Roth Publisher William Morrow & Company Imprint William Morrow & Company DEWEY 813.6 Audience General Imprint US William Morrow Paperbacks Publisher US HarperCollins We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
