Ruby is sixteen. She is dangerous. And she is alive—for now. After a mysterious disease wipes out most of America’s children, the survivors are left with terrifying powers they cannot control. Branded as threats, they are locked away in brutal government “rehabilitation camps.” Ruby, forced into the infamous Thurmond camp, has learned to hide her abilities and fear her own strength.

But when an unexpected chance at freedom arises, Ruby is thrust into a world on the run—where mastering her power may be the only hope for survival, not just for her, but for an entire generation. Dark, emotional, and relentlessly gripping, The Darkest Minds is the electrifying first book in Alexandra Bracken’s bestselling dystopian trilogy, perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and Divergent.
