Matched Series

In the thrilling conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Matched trilogy, Cassie, Ky, and Xander return to the Society to save the one thing denied to them for so long: the power to choose.

“More action, more romance, and a full-scale rebellion.”—Entertainment Weekly

“Gripping and richly satisfying!”—School Library Journal

One young woman’s journey began with a momentary glitch in the otherwise perfect façade of the Society. After crossing canyons to break free, she waits, silk and paper smuggled against her skin, ready for the final chapter.

The wait is over.

Cassie has raged against those who threaten to keep away what matters most—family, love, choice. Her quiet revolution is about to explode into full-scale rebellion.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The “superb” (Wall Street Journal) second book in the internationally bestselling dystopian Matched trilogy continues Cassia’s story and her relentless quest for freedom.

“Intriguing.”—Entertainment Weekly

“Steered by characters who break the rules, form new alliances, and commit to surprising paths.”—Shelf Awareness

In search of a future that may not exist and faced with the decision of who to share it with, Cassia journeys to the Outer Provinces in pursuit of Ky—taken by the Society to his certain death—only to find that he has escaped, leaving a series of clues in his wake.

Cassia’s quest leads her to question much of what she holds dear, even as she finds glimmers of a different life across the border. But as Cassia becomes resolved about her future with Ky, an invitation for rebellion, an unexpected betrayal, and a surprise visit from Xander—who may hold the key to the uprising and to Cassia’s heart—changes the game once again.

Nothing is as expected on the edge of Society, where crosses and double crosses make the path more twisted than ever.

In the Society, Officials decide. Who you love. Where you work. When you die.
 
Cassia has always trusted the Society’s choices. And when her best friend appears on the Matching screen, she is certain he’s the one—until she sees another face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. Now she is faced with impossible choices: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she’s ever known and a path no one has dared to follow. Between perfection and the truth.
