Synopsis

The shocking and thrilling sequel—and conclusion—to Breathe, which Kirkus Reviews called "intelligent and absorbing." Three teens confront danger, uncertainty, and the yearning to live—and breathe—freely. This powerful dystopian novel is for fans of Veronica Roth and Patrick Ness.

What would you do if you were desperate? Bea, Alina, and Quinn are outlaws. They started a rebellion and have been thrown out of the pod—the only place where there's enough air to breathe. Bea has lost her family. Alina has lost her home. And Quinn has lost his privileged life. What will they find now that they are refugees in the perilous Outlands? Their final safe haven may be harboring dark secrets. But together, the three teens find the will to keep fighting, to save one another, and to break free from everything that's holding them back.

Acclaimed author Sarah Crossan has created a dangerous, shattered society, and brought to life three teenagers who come into their own in the most heartbreaking ways. A wrenching, thought-provoking, and unforgettable post-apocalyptic novel.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Run.
Break away.
Fight.
Keep on breathing.

They are all outlaws. They are all fighters. And they can't ever go back to the life they left behind. They don't want to.

Bea
thought she knew what people meant when they talked about having broken hearts. She didn't know a thing.

Quinn
doesn't know what he was thinking. Now he's alone and Bea's practically alone, and he has no way of knowing when he'll see her again.

Ronan
has never been alone before. Not truly. But now he is, and he has only one option left. Does he have the guts to take it?

Alina
can't help feeling that she's going to have a notable part to play in everyone's destruction.

From the ashes of a dying world, a revolution is growing. And it starts with those who have already lost everything. The provocative and unforgettable conclusion to Sarah Crossan's Breathe.
