Blurb:
Heartbroken but more determined than ever after a
tense showdown in the woods, sixteen-year-old Tess once again returns to the
safety of her community of Isolationists. Bolstered by new alliances and
desperate to protect those she loves, this time she knows she can return
stronger and more powerful than ever to take back what is hers.
As she trains in combat and grows more confident,
Tess receives beautiful letters penned by her forbidden love, the chosen one
James, from his prison in Templeton. He is now serving as a bodyguard to the
creators—the team of scientists who created artificial life in the first place.
And what he has discovered about the true origin of the illness that halted
natural life could change everything.
Enemy will become ally and death will bring new hope
in this stunning conclusion to Tiffany Truitt’s epic Lost Souls trilogy.
Exclusive
Excerpt!
Somewhere, James
was just as trapped as I was.
I thought of the morning when we lay
with each other, curled against one another, never beginning and never ending.
How we’d stayed like that till the sun began to rise.
James had reached down and pulled me
off the ground. He wore a satisfied grin on his face. “Someone is mighty proud
of himself,” I teased.
He laughed. It bounced through the
forest, calling it awake. Readying it for the day. “I’m just insanely happy.”
I stood on the tips of my toes and
kissed him gently on his scar. “I’m insanely happy too,” I whispered.
James looked down at me, and I was
lost all over again. I would never tire of looking into those mismatched eyes.
They didn’t make him different. They made him him. He chuckled as he reached
over and pulled a leaf from my tangled hair. “They’ll know just by looking at
you that we’ve been up to no good.”
“No good?” I purred. “I thought it
was very, very good.”
James growled and lifted me into the
air. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he pressed his lips hungrily against
mine. I moved my hands to his hair, curling my fingers into it, attaching
myself to him. I never wanted to let go. Every part of me ached to be touched
by him, and every part of me ached to touch him right back.
“Do you know how much I love you?”
he breathed into the base of my neck. His lips fluttered against my skin.
I nodded, kissing the top of his
head. “As much as I love you.”
James slowly put my feet back on the
ground. He cradled my face in his hands. “That will never change. No matter
what.”
I looked deep into his eyes. “I
know.” Because I did. It was one of life’s few assurances. I would always love
James.
I pressed my lips once again to his
scar. “I adore this scar,” I whispered, unable to hide the smile that seemed
etched on my face all morning.
“You’re enough to drive a man
crazy,” he said The tremble of his voice caused my toes to curl. I wanted him
again. And again. And again.
My fingers traced the waist of his
pants. “Tonight?” I said, knowing full well it was a promise that I probably
wouldn’t be able to keep.
James grabbed my hand and brought it
to his lips. “Tonight,” he echoed.
As the sun climb higher into the
sky, I knew our moment was coming to an end. James reached down and placed his
hand over my heart. “Thank you,” he said.
“For what?” I asked, my voice choked
with emotion.
“For everything.”
As the memory slipped away, I looked
back up at the night sky. Praying and hoping that James knew how much I wanted
to thank him too.
For everything.
About
Tiffany:
Tiffany Truitt was born in Peoria, Illinois. A
self-proclaimed Navy brat, Tiffany spent most of her childhood living in
Virginia, but don’t call her a Southerner. She also spent a few years living in
Cuba. Since her time on the island of one McDonalds and Banana Rats
(don’t ask), she has been obsessed with traveling. Tiffany recently added China
to her list of travels (hello inspiration for a new book).
Besides traveling, Tiffany has always been an avid
reader. The earliest books she remembers reading belong to The Little
House on the Prairie Series. First book she read in one day? Little
Woman(5th grade). First author she fell in love with? Jane Austen in middle
school. Tiffany spent most of her high school and college career as a literary
snob. She refused to read anything considered “low brow” or outside the
“classics.”
Tiffany began teaching middle school in 2006. Her
students introduced her to the wide, wonderful world of Young Adult literature.
Today, Tiffany embraces popular Young Adult literature and uses it in her
classroom. She currently teaches the following novels: The Outsiders, Speak, Night,
Dystopian Literature Circles: The Hunger Games, The Giver, The
Uglies, and Matched.
Tiffany is proud to call herself an educator and Young
Adult author. Her first book will be published by Entangled Publishing.
