Reviews" Arch-Conspirator is a gut punch of a story. Roth takes everything fragile about love, everything powerful about certain doom, and blooms with it. You'll be holding your breath until the very last word ."--Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six "Roth's powerful retelling of Antigone transforms a bleak classical tragedy into a story of ferocious, bittersweet triumph --all set against the backdrop of a ravaged post-apocalyptic future."--Sunyi Dean, bestselling author of The Book Eaters " Tragic and triumphant in equal measure. Roth is a storyteller who reaches new heights with every tale."--John Scalzi, bestselling author of The Kaiju Preservation Society " An elegant, pressingly relevant Antigone retelling , with a fascinating chorus of viewpoints that both complicates and elucidates its complex themes."--Shelley Parker-Chan, bestselling author of She Who Became the Sun "Heartbreaking, intimate, inevitable. The worldbuilding tightens around the neck in a way that perfectly matches the noose-tension of the dramatic tragedy ."--Max Gladstone, co-author of This Is How You Lose the Time War "Veronica Roth's Arch-Conspirator, is something rare and magnificent--a novella of epic voice and scale. Roth is a masterful conjurer, summoning both classic myth and visceral dystopia to weave a breathtaking tale of love, avarice, and the timeless desire for revenge ."--Ryka Aoki, bestselling author of Light From Uncommon Stars "[A] taut, defiant reenvisioning of Sophocles's Antigone .... The plot preserves the shape of the original without ever losing the capacity to surprise and, more importantly, prod reflection and recognition . This powerful tale of reproductive oppression is sure to wow."--Publishers Weekly, STARRED review Praise for Veronica Roth: "A hugely-imagined, twisty, turning tale that leads through the labyrinths of magic and war to the center of the heart."--Diana Gabaldon, author of the New York Times best-selling Outlander series "This dark, complex novel rocked my heart and left me with a renewed sense that saving the world is a job that never ends. Roth's version of magic is as flawed and fascinating as her characters, and her story keeps you guessing until the wild conclusion."--Charlie Jane Anders, Hugo & Nebula Award winning author of The City in the Middle of the Night "A virtuoso performance... like nothing I've read before."--Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Recursion "Roth somehow manages to make universe-building look easy. She sets it all up--world, characters, premise--so smoothly that you hardly notice until you're a hundred pages in and hurtling down the tracks."--Charles Yu, author of Interior Chinatown, " Arch-Conspirator is a gut punch of a story . Roth takes everything fragile about love, everything powerful about certain doom, and blooms with it. You'll be holding your breath until the very last word ."--Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six " Tragic and triumphant in equal measure. Roth is a storyteller who reaches new heights with every tale."--John Scalzi, bestselling author of The Kaiju Preservation Society "Fascinating. . . an inventive , fast read."--Buzzfeed "Veronica Roth has already proven herself to be one of the best dystopian writers right now , but this Antigone retelling takes it all to the next level. Not only does it bring a completely new spin to a familiar story, but it's also the kind of speedy read that will kick you out of a book slump ."--Cosmopolitan "Roth's powerful retelling of Antigone transforms a bleak classical tragedy into a story of ferocious, bittersweet triumph --all set against the backdrop of a ravaged post-apocalyptic future."--Sunyi Dean, bestselling author of The Book Eaters " An elegant, pressingly relevant Antigone retelling , with a fascinating chorus of viewpoints that both complicates and elucidates its complex themes."--Shelley Parker-Chan, bestselling author of She Who Became the Sun "Queen of Dystopia Veronica Roth packs a lot of cool worldbuilding into Arch-Conspirator , offering a fresh take on a classic tragedy . If you're a fan of mythology and schemes, definitely put this one on your list."--Tor.com "Heartbreaking, intimate, inevitable. The worldbuilding tightens around the neck in a way that perfectly matches the noose-tension of the dramatic tragedy ."--Max Gladstone, co-author of This Is How You Lose the Time War "[A] taut, defiant reenvisioning of Sophocles's Antigone ....

Roth is a masterful conjurer, summoning both classic myth and visceral dystopia to weave a breathtaking tale of love, avarice, and the timeless desire for revenge ."--Ryka Aoki, bestselling author of Light From Uncommon Stars " Roth deftly handles extensive world building, character development, and plot. Readers familiar with Sophocles' original story will have an extra dimension of appreciation, but those without that background will still race through the pages to learn Antigone's fate."--Booklist "Roth uses the familiar tale of Antigone as a vehicle to tell a story about desperation, hubris, tyranny, and revolution . Combined with the dystopian setting of the dying planet and the tyrannical rule of the surviving city state, the story gives readers a heroine to root for, a despot to revile, and a thought provoking ending ."--Library Journal, " Arch-Conspirator is a gut punch of a story. Roth takes everything fragile about love, everything powerful about certain doom, and blooms with it. You'll be holding your breath until the very last word ."--Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six "Roth's powerful retelling of Antigone transforms a bleak classical tragedy into a story of ferocious, bittersweet triumph --all set against the backdrop of a ravaged post-apocalyptic future."--Sunyi Dean, bestselling author of The Book Eaters " Tragic and triumphant in equal measure.

SynopsisIn this gripping and atmospheric reimagining of Antigone , #1 New York Time s bestselling author Veronica Roth reaches back to the root of legend and delivers a world of tomorrow both timeless and unexpected. "I'm cursed, haven't you heard?" Outside the last city on Earth, the planet is a wasteland. Without the Archive, where the genes of the dead are stored, humanity will end. Antigone's parents--Oedipus and Jocasta--are dead. Passing into the Archive should be cause for celebration, but with her militant uncle Kreon rising to claim her father's vacant throne, all Antigone feels is rage. When he welcomes her and her siblings into his mansion, Antigone sees it for what it really is: a gilded cage, where she is a captive as well as a guest. But her uncle will soon learn that no cage is unbreakable. And neither is he. "Roth is a masterful conjurer, summoning both classic myth and visceral dystopia to weave a breathtaking tale of love, avarice, and the timeless desire for revenge." -- Ryka Aoki, bestselling author of Light From Uncommon Stars
