The scorching third volume in a new series set in the #1 global bestselling Shatter Me universe ten years after the fall of The Reestablishment. James Anderson needs a new plan. He’s ready to make real moves to destroy the looming threats against their world, but no one is taking him seriously. James is tired of being underestimated by his own family. He wants five uninterrupted minutes alone with Rosabelle. He wants to kill Sebastian. And he’s done waiting for permission. Rosabelle Wolff needs to stick to the plan. Which means she needs to stay away from James and the dangerous feelings he brings out in her. When she’s near him she loses control, and she’ll need absolute control if she has any hope of convincing Sebastian―and through him, Klaus―that she’s still carrying out the original plan to destroy the rebel regime. In the meantime, Warner needs to stay out of her business. Aaron Warner Anderson is trying not to kill Rosabelle. They might be reluctant allies, but that doesn’t mean they get along. Every day is a new kind of hell for Warner. He’s worried about his wife; he’s worried about his world. He can’t decide what to do about James until he understands Rosabelle’s true motives―and when he’s finally delivered the answers he needs, the stakes prove astronomical. All roads lead to heartbreak and destruction, no matter what choice he makes. Gut-wrenching discoveries, blistering romance, non-stop explosive action, and a world determined to control their thoughts and actions: When the eyes of the world are upon you, who do you hope is watching? ​​​​​​​Product Information: • ISBN: 9780008718213 • Author: Tahereh Mafi • Publisher: Harper Collins Publishers • Format: Hardback
