Noble Conflict Award-winning author by Malorie Blackman (author) (UK edition)

A chilling and topical dystopian blockbuster by Malorie Blackman, author of the award-winning Noughts and Crosses sequence.

Years after a violent war destroyed much of the world, Kaspar has grown up in a society based on peace and harmony. But beyond the city walls, a vicious band of rebels are plotting to tear its peace apart. It is up to the Guardians – an elite peacekeeping force – to protect the city, without ever resorting to the brutal methods of their enemy. But when Kaspar joins the Guardians, he has a chance encounter with a rebel; a beautiful girl named Rhea. Haunted from that moment on by strange visions and memories – memories that could only belong to Rhea – Kaspar comes to realise he has been lied to. What do the rebels really want… and what is he really fighting for?
