<div>Nuclear war, dystopian unrest, a genetic mutation that divides twins in life and unites them in death&#8212;the &ldquo;refreshingly nuanced&rdquo; (Booklist, starred review) first novel in award-winning poet Francesca Haig&rsquo;s richly imagined and action-packed post-apocalyptic trilogy &ldquo;is poised to become the next must-read hit&rdquo; (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Four hundred years after a nuclear apocalypse, all humans are born in pairs: the deformed Omegas, who are exploited and oppressed, and their Alpha twins, who have inherited the earth&#8212;or what&rsquo;s left of it. But despite their claims of superiority, the Alphas cannot escape one harsh fact: whenever one twin dies, so does the other. Cass is a rare Omega whose mutation is psychic foresight&#8212;not that she needs it to know that as her powerful twin, Zach, ascends the ranks of the ruling Alpha Council, she&rsquo;s in grave danger. Zach has a devastating plan for Omega annihilation. Cass has visions of an island where a bloody Omega resistance promises a life of freedom. But her real dream is to discover a middle way, one that would bring together the sundered halves of humanity. And that means both the Council and the resistance have her in their sights. But is she alone in her idealism that they can live peacefully side-by-side with the twins? And what will they do when they learn who her brother is?</div>

The Fire Sermon

<div>Book Two in the critically acclaimed Fire Sermon post-apocalyptic trilogy, &ldquo;with its well-built world, vivid characters and suspenseful plot&rdquo; (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), is an exciting and thought-provoking continuation of this epic social commentary written by award-winning poet Francesca Haig. Four hundred years after a nuclear apocalypse, all humans are born in pairs: the Alphas, and their deformed Omega twins, who are ruthlessly oppressed. But despite their claims of superiority, the Alphas cannot escape one harsh fact: Whenever one twin dies, so does the other. Following the events of The Fire Sermon, the Omega resistance has been brutally attacked, its members dead or in hiding. The Alpha Council&#8217;s plan for permanently containing the Omegas has begun. But all is not entirely lost: the Council&#8217;s seer, the Confessor, is dead, killed by her twin&#8217;s sacrifice. Cass is left haunted by visions of the past, while her brother Zach&#8217;s cruelty and obsession push her to the edge and threaten to destroy everything she hopes for. As the country moves closer to all-out civil war, Cass will learn that to change the future she will need to uncover the past. But nothing can prepare her for what she discovers: a deeply buried secret that raises the stakes higher than ever before.</div>
