NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The third book in an epic series about a girl who will travel
beyond the stars to save the world she loves from destruction from the author of the Reckoners
series the Mistborn trilogy and the Stormlight Archive. Spensa’s life as a Defiant Defense
Force pilot has been far from ordinary. She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the
human enclave of Detritus and she saved her people from extermination at the hands of the
Krell—the enigmatic alien species that has been holding them captive for decades. What’s more
she traveled light-years from home as an undercover spy to infiltrate the Superiority where
she learned of the galaxy beyond her small desolate planet home. Now the Superiority—the
governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life—has started a galaxy-wide war.
And Spensa’s seen the weapons they plan to use to end it: the Delvers. Ancient mysterious
alien forces that can wipe out entire planetary systems in an instant. Spensa knows that no
matter how many pilots the DDF has there is no defeating this predator. Except that
Spensa is Cytonic. She faced down a Delver and saw something eerily familiar about it. And
maybe if she’s able to figure out what she is she could be more than just another pilot in
this unfolding war. She could save the galaxy. The only way she can discover what she
really is though is to leave behind all she knows and enter the Nowhere. A place from which
few ever return. To have courage means facing fear. And this mission is terrifying.
