Cress is not the typical heroine; confined within a satellite, she has honed her skills as a hacker under the watchful eyes of netscreens and the iron rule of the malicious Queen Levana. As a pawn in the queen's game, Cress is ordered to track down Cinder and Emperor Kai, little knowing they are plotting Levana's downfall. When Cinder's group attempts to free Cress, chaos ensues, leading to unexpected alliances and a fight for freedom that may save the world or end in catastrophe. Marissa Meyer's 'Cress,' a twist on age-old fairy tales, is an exhilarating journey through space and rebellion as an unlikely group becomes humanity's last hope.
