LU MARIE RED CITY

Magical mob rivalry  star-crossed ambition and the pursuit of perfection at any cost - set in a
glittering  alternate  present-day Los Angeles. Red City is the dark and deadly adult debut
from the bestselling author of the iconic Legend series - and perfect for fans of V. E. Schwab.
Alchemy is the hidden art of transformation  an exclusive power wielded by crime syndicates who
market it to the world's elite in the form of sand - a drug that enhances those who take it
into a more perfect version of themselves: more beautiful  more charismatic  simply more.  
Among the gleaming skyscrapers and rolling foothills of Angel City  alchemy is controlled by
two rival syndicates. For years  Grand Central and Lumines have been balanced on a razor's edge
between polite negotiation and outright violence. But when two childhood friends step into that
delicate equation  the city - and the paths of their lives - will be irrevocably transformed. 
The daughter of a poor single mother  Sam would do anything to claw her way into the ranks of
Grand Central in search of a better life. Plucked away from his family as a boy to become a
Lumines apprentice  Ari is one of the syndicates' brightest rising stars. Once  they might have
loved each other. But as the two alchemists face off from opposite sides of an ever-escalating
conflict  ambition becomes power  loyalty becomes lies  and no transformation may be perfect
enough for them both to survive the coming war.   Praise for Marie Lu    'Marie Lu always
delivers'   - Leigh Bardugo  author of Ninth House and Six of Crows    'Marie Lu is magic'   -
Tahereh Mafi  author of Shatter Me
