Running From Lions

Finding your identity has never been this dangerous. Farah is a night watcher. It's a job she's had in her Village for over a year, and it may end up being her role. Roles are important. They're how you survive in the barren, post-apocalyptic desert known as the bowl. But Farah doesn't want to be a night watcher, and, the truth is, she doesn't know what she wants. Rubik is from another planet. He's just crash-landed on Earth after being lost in the galaxies for what felt like a millennia. He doesn't remember anything of his race, his purpose, or his origins. All he has to his name are troubling, consuming questions. On a chilly, starry night, their paths will cross, sending them on a dual journey to find answers. Yet their venture of discovery quickly turns into a race for survival: The undergrounders, a band of ruthless desert pirates, know something about Rubik that Farah does not, and they'll stop at nothing to take him captive. Fans of the Matched and Delirium trilogies will instantly connect with this fast-paced dystopian romance that's packed with action, mystery, and gut-wrenching twists.
