Fever

For 17-year-old Rhine Ellery, a daring escape from a suffocating polygamous marriage is only the beginning Running away brings Rhine and Gabriel right into a trap, in the form of a twisted carnival whose ringmistress keeps watch over a menagerie of girls. Just as Rhine uncovers what plans await her, her fortune turns again. With Gabriel at her side, Rhine travels through an environment as grim as the one she left a year ago surroundings that mirror her own feelings of fear and hopelessness. The two are determined to get to Manhattan, to relative safety with Rhines twin brother, Rowan. But the road there is long and perilous and in a world where young women only live to age twenty and young men die at twenty-five, time is precious. Worse still, they cant seem to elude Rhines father-in-law, Vaughn, who is determined to bring Rhine back to the mansionby any means necessary. In the sequel to Lauren DeStefanos harrowing Wither, Rhine must decide if freedom is worth the price now that she has more to lose than ever.
