Description
Spies meet romance meet popstars in this thrilling follow up to Stars and Smoke by bestselling author Marie Lu.
A year has passed since superstar Winter and secret agent Sydney Cossette went undercover - on a dangerous mission to bring down the baddest man in London.
Winter hasn't stopped thinking about Sydney since, and she's been trying not to think about him
Family secrets and nasty newspapers has Winter desperate to re-enter the secret world. And it's not long before he gets his chance.
Sydney is back, and this time the mission goes right to the heart of the United States of America. A rescue gone wrong, an assassination attempt - and the return of an old flame - puts Winter right back into the action . . . and into a country on the brink of chaos.
And when a murder accusation has Sydney on the run, suddenly it's not just a life at stake, but all-out war.
'Stars and Smoke is a propulsive and thrilling joyride from start to finish'
Adam Silevra, author of They Both Die at the End, on Stars and Smoke
'Sexy, funny, action-packed, full of killer characters ready to break your heart and look good doing it. Marie Lu always delivers.'
Leigh Bardugo, author of Shadow and Bone, on Stars and Smoke
