"Book Two in the critically acclaimed The Fire Sermon trilogy--The Hunger Games meets Cormac McCarthy's The Road in this richly imagined post-apocalyptic series by award-winning poet Francesca Haig. Four hundred years in the future, the Earth has turned primitive following a nuclear fire that has laid waste to civilization and nature. Though the radiation fallout has ended, for some unknowable reason every person is born with a twin. Of each pair, one is an Alpha--physically perfect in every way; and the other an Omega--burdened with deformity, small or large. With the Council ruling an apartheid-like society, Omegas are branded and ostracized while the Alphas have gathered the world's sparse resources for themselves. Though proclaiming their superiority, for all their effort, Alphas cannot escape one harsh fact: whenever one twin dies, so does the other. Cass is a rare Omega, one burdened with psychic foresight. While her twin, Zach, gains power on the Alpha Council, she dares to dream the most dangerous dream of all: equality. For daring to envision a world in which Alphas and Omegas live side-by-side as equals, both the Council and the Resistance have her in their sights.Book Two in the critically acclaimed The Fire Sermon trilogy--The Hunger Games meets Cormac McCarthy's The Road in this richly imagined post-apocalyptic series by award-winning poet Francesca Haig.

"Perpustakan Alexandria yang tesohor, tempat segala jenis pengetahuan tersimpan, sebenarnya masih berdiri hingga saat ini! Jika kau kira perpustakaan itu sudah dihancurkan, kau termakan kebohongan para pustakawan durjana. Dalam perjalanan ke Kerajaan Merdeka, Alcatraz tiba-tiba memutuskan belok arah ke Perpustakaan Alexandria, karena Kakek Smerdy pergi kesana, dan Alcatraz tahu kakeknya itu pasti akan terlibat masalah dan mungkin akan membutuhkan bantuannya. Tapi tugas ini tidak mudah, karena Perpustakaan Alexandria dijaga oleh para Kurator, ruh-ruh yang menyerupai tengkorak dan akan merenggut jiwamu jika kau berani-berani memindahkan satu buku saja dari perpustakaan itu. selain itu, Alcatraz juga dikejar-kejar oleh salah satu Pustakawan Kerangka Juru Tulis yang hendak mengorbankannya di altar berdarah."
