This morning, US Weekly revealed the cover for Perfect Ruin by Lauren DeStefano. It’s set to be published this October, and is the first book in The Internment Chronicles.
On Internment, the floating island in the clouds where 16-year-old Morgan Stockhour lives, getting too close to the edge can lead to madness. Even though Morgan’s older brother, Lex, was a Jumper, Morgan vows never to end up like him. She tries her best not to mind that her life is orderly and boring, and if she ever wonders about the ground, and why it is forbidden, she takes solace in best friend Pen and her betrothed, Basil.
Then a murder, the first in a generation, rocks the city. With whispers swirling and fear on the wind, Morgan can no longer stop herself from investigating, especially when she meets Judas. He is the boy being blamed for the murder — betrothed to the victim — but Morgan is convinced of his innocence. Secrets lay at the heart of Internment, but nothing can prepare Morgan for what she will find — or who she will lose.
I loved the Chemical Garden Trilogy (which you definitely should read if you haven’t already), so I’m beyond excited for this new series. Based on the teasers from Lauren’s twitter, the synopsis itself, and the review that Beth Revis posted on Goodreads, it looks like Perfect Ruin will definitely be worth reading.
I love this cover. The synopsis sounds very interesting. I didn’t read her last series because I wasn’t interested in the topics (eg pregnancy), but I quite fancy this one and I’ve heard so many good things about her writing.
I loved The Chemical Garden trilogy, and I am so excited for Perfect Ruin 😀 And the cover is so beautiful.
