Synopsis
Enter the dark and twisted world of THE BLOOD OF EDEN trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Julie Kagawa's unforgettable dystopian nightmare. WHAT IF SAVING HUMANITY MEANT BECOMING WHAT YOU FEAR THE MOST? Allison Sekemoto survives in the Fringe, the outermost circle of a vampire city. By day, she and her crew scavenge for food. By night, any one of them could be eaten. Some days, all that drives Allie is her hatred of them --the vampires who keep humans as blood cattle. Until the night Allie herself is attacked and becomes one of the monsters. Forced to flee her city, Allie must pass for human as she joins a ragged group of pilgrims seeking a legend--a place that might have a cure for the disease that killed off most of civilization and created the rabids, the bloodthirsty creatures who threaten humans and vampires alike. Soon Allie will have to decide what--and who--is worth dying for... again.
