In 'Never Fade', the second installment of The Darkest Minds series, we follow Ruby, a young girl gifted with terrible powers that she deems monstrous. Throughout the post-apocalyptic chaos prevailing in America after a devastating disease claims most of the children, Ruby rises to an unwanted role of leadership within the Children's League. As she undertakes perilous missions to undermine a corrupt government, a heavy burden falls upon her shoulders: a secret so volatile, it could ignite the fuse of rebellion. When this secret sends her on a treacherous journey to find Liam, the boy intertwined with her past and the keeper of truths that could reshape the world, Ruby faces the ultimate conflict of loyalty and love. Torn between her comrades and the vow she's made, Ruby confronts a fearsome possibility—victory might claim her identity and soul, transforming her into the very monster she fears.
