About This Book

Ember is the only city left in the world — its generator keeping the lights on against the eternal darkness outside — and the instructions for leaving it have been lost for generations. When twelve-year-old Lina finds a fragment of the forgotten message, she and her friend Doon begin to understand that their city is running out of time. A propulsive, beautifully imagined dystopian adventure.
