Into The Mist

Meer over het boek

From #1 New York Times bestselling author P. C. Cast comes a pulse-pounding dystopian duology for our times. Practical Magic meets Station Eleven in this gripping exploration of female power amid the collapse of violent patriarchies. The world ends when an attack on the U.S. unleashes bombs that cause fire and biological destruction, along with sonic detonations and devastating earthquakes. These bombs release a green mist that is deadly to men but alters women's body chemistry, granting them superhuman abilities. A group of high school teachers returning from a conference experiences these newfound powers firsthand. Mercury Rhodes, the Warrior, has heightened physical abilities; Stella Carver, the Seer, possesses foresight; Imani Andrews, the Watcher, is connected to the earth; Karen Gay, the Priestess, communicates with Spirits; and Gemma Jenkins, a sixteen-year-old student and Healer, joins them after losing her parents. As they traverse the Pacific Northwest in search of safety, they realize they can't trust anyone. With danger lurking at every turn, it will take all their powers to save themselves—and potentially the world. This thrilling narrative offers timely commentary on power and community, blending feminist themes with an adventurous tale filled with wit and camaraderie.
