Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Kimberly McCreight raises the stakes in the second book of the heart-pounding Outliers trilogy, a uniquely speculative story about secrets, betrayal, and a world where one small group of people are blessed—or cursed—with an incredible power.

Wylie may have escaped the camp in Maine, but she is far from safe. The best way for her to protect herself is to understand her ability, fast. But after spending a lifetime trying to ignore her own feelings, giving in to her ability to read other peoples’ emotions is as difficult as it is dangerous.

And Wylie isn’t the only one at risk. Ever since they returned home, Jasper has been spiraling, wracked with guilt over what happened to Cassie. After all they’ve been through together, Wylie and Jasper would do anything for each other, but she doesn’t know if their bond is strong enough to overcome demons from the past.

It is amid this uncertainty and fear that Wylie finds herself confronted with a choice. She was willing to do whatever it took to help Cassie, but is she prepared to go to the same extremes to help complete strangers . . . even if they are just like her?

• The Outliers Trilogy Continues: The high-stakes adventure picks up right where the first book left off, with Wylie and Jasper in more danger than ever before.
• A Desperate Fight for Survival: She may have escaped the camp, but Wylie is far from safe. On the run from forces she doesn’t understand, she must master her powers or be consumed by them.
• Secrets and Lies: Jasper is spiraling, tormented by what happened to Cassie. Their bond is the only thing keeping them afloat—but it might not be enough to save them from the past.
• A High-Stakes Choice: Wylie discovers she’s not alone. But helping the other Outliers could mean exposing them all to an even greater danger, a choice that will test her courage to its limits.
