Quatri�me de couverture :

LISTEN TO ME. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.

They call my sister and me a witch and a wizard. We're considered wanted criminals. Your so-called enemies. But I need you to trust me when I tell you that these are the worst of times and that the best of times are little more than a distant memory. And no one seems to be paying attention to what's going on. Are you?

Paying attention?

Imagine that all the things you love most in the world - and probably take for granted - are now banned. Your books, music, movies, art . . . all snatched away. Burned. That's life under the New Order . . . Now, with every waking breath, we have to fight for every freedom we have left. Even our imagination is at risk. Can you picture your government trying to destroy that? It's inhuman.

But if you're one of the few who've escaped the N.O.'s clutches, you need to hear our story. And the story of the Resistance. So when we're gone, there's someone left to spread the word.

Someone to fight the good fight.

And so we begin . . .
