Book Descriptions
Matched
Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to
read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen
at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees
Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. The
Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus
on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop
thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the
Society's infaÂllibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between
Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else
has dared to follow.
Crossed
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 nears
resolve and certainty 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, still, to Cassia's heart – change the game once
again…
Reached
The wait is over. One young woman 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. With exquisite prose, the emotionally
gripping conclusion to the international–bestselling Matched trilogy returns
Cassia, Ky, and Xander to the Society to save the one thing they have been
denied for so long, the power to choose.
