The Crystal War — Tracy Auerbach

The highly anticipated sequel to The Sin Soldiers by Tracy Auerbach will have science fiction fans of Veronica Roth and Pierce brown at the edge of their seats.


The line between human and monster is not as clear cut as once believed. In the weeks since Kai's escape from the hell of the Eastern Fortress, things have grown more complicated. She's joined forces with her brother's self-absorbed boyfriend, who controls the Western Army, but she's been separated from Finn, the soldier who found a place in her heart.


Meanwhile, Finn runs from his struggles as he always has; he'd afraid of himself, his new feelings for Kai, and all the terrible truths he's learned. Tessa is free in the world for the first time, a force to be reckoned with as she travels to the Dome of Artifacts and seeks revenge on the system that ruined her life. Finally, the type 'A' soldier who was once a friendly boy named Charlie has been restored to factory settings, a weapon for Aric to use.


The Science Council has unleashed new crystal compounds, more toxic and destructive than anything the world has seen. As Kai and her friends struggle with everything that's been done to them, they will have to find a way to unite and prepare for the fight of their lives.
