A major new film franchise, The Darkest Minds is the first novel in a brilliant dystopian series that already has American readers hooked.

Ruby is sixteen. She is dangerous. And she is alive. For now.

A mysterious disease has killed most of America's children. Ruby might have survived, but she and the others have emerged with something far worse than a virus: frightening abilities they cannot control. Pressured by the government, Ruby's parents sent her to Thurmond, a brutal state 'rehabilitation camp', where she has learned to fear and suppress her new power. But what if mastering it is a whole generation's only chance for survival?

Fast-paced and packed with heart-stopping plot-twists, The Darkest Minds is this generation’s Hunger Games.
