“Ness doesn’t just tell stories – he illuminates the human heart.“ Cassandra Clare

“Heartbreaking and brutally human.” Neal Shusterman, author of Scythe

In New World, there were no secrets. Everyone could hear everyone else’s thoughts in a constant, overwhelming Noise. Then a cure came – one that the second generation took from birth. Peace descended, wars ended, communication was silenced.

Until now . . .

A sci-fi, dystopian, heart-pounding adventure like no other, by one of the world’s most beloved young-adult writers and author of A Monster Calls. This is a brand-new story set in the world of the multi-award-winning, globally bestselling Chaos Walking series – a compelling read for new and existing fans.

Brothers Ben and Max have never really gotten on, each being more like one of their parents – Todd and Viola.

But when something is spotted in the night sky – something that’s bringing back dreams of Noise, dreams of terror – the brothers will have to come together.

Danger is coming and the family will be tested like never before.

For fans of The Hunger Games and action-packed dystopia as well as fantasy worlds such as those by Philip Pullman. The hardback book contains stunning illustrations by Jim Kay, the award-winning artist of A Monster Calls.
