Praise for ASCENDANT: "Peterfreund is sure to gain a stronger following with Ascendant, and fans will eagerly await further titles in the series."--School Library Journal

Praise for ASCENDANT: "I was riveted by Ascendant. It's not only about killer unicorns; it's also about finding the courage to make tough decisions--and to be true to yourself. I think Astrid rocks!"--Malinda Lo, author of ASH

Praise for ASCENDANT: "In this thrilling sequel to Peterfreund's Rampant...the strong yet vulnerable heroine, compelling conflicts, and exquisite settings should find a voracious audience in those familiar with the first installment."--Publishers Weekly

"A smart and sexy tale of star-crossed love that's as thought-provoking as it is heartbreaking."--Robin Wasserman, author of THE BOOK OF BLOOD AND SHADOW

"A beautiful, epic love story you won't be able to put down!"--Simone Elkeles, New York Times bestselling author of the Perfect Chemistry series

"Diana Peterfreund's For Darkness Shows the Stars is an impassioned ode to Jane Austen, love, and the hope found in stars."--Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling author of ACROSS THE UNIVERSE and A MILLION SUNS

"Succeeds in recasting Austen's characters to bring her themes to a futurist society and provide wry comment on life in the twenty-first century .... will appeal to science fiction and romance fans alike.--Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

"Dystopian, ideological, rebellious-Peterfreund's fantasy homage to Austen's Persuasion departs from the original in many respects, and with great success .... a richly envisioned portrait of a society in flux, a steely yet vulnerable heroine, and a young man who does some growing up."--Publishers Weekly

Will be a hit with fans of sci-fi romances Readers will keep turning the pages right up to the end. --School Library Journal (starred review)"

Reseña del editor

A postapocalyptic reimagining of Jane Austen's Persuasion finds 18-year-old Luddite Elliot North remembering the romance she gave up four years earlier out of a sense of duty toward her caste-conscious family's estate and renting her lands to her now-successful former love Kai, who reveals to Elliot what she gave up. 40,000 first printing.
