Generations ago, a genetic experiment gone wrong—the Reduction—decimated humanity, giving rise to a Luddite nobility who outlawed most technology.
Eighteen-year-old Luddite Elliot North has always known her place in this caste system. Four years ago Elliot refused to run away with her childhood sweetheart, the servant Kai, choosing duty to her family’s estate over love. But now the world has changed: a new class of Post-Reductionists is jumpstarting the wheel of progress and threatening Luddite control; Elliot’s estate is floundering; and she’s forced to rent land to the mysterious Cloud Fleet, a group of shipbuilders that includes renowned explorer Captain Malakai Wentforth—an almost unrecognizable Kai. And while Elliott wonders if this could be their second chance, Kai seems determined to show Elliot exactly what she gave up when she abandoned him.
But Elliot soon discovers her childhood friend carries a secret—-one that could change the society in which they live…or bring it to its knees. And again, she’s faced with a choice: cling to what she’s been raised to believe, or cast her lot with the only boy she’s ever loved, even if she has lost him forever.
Inspired by Jane Austen’s PERSUASION, FOR DARKNESS SHOWS THE STARS is a breathtaking romance about opening your mind to the future and your heart to the one person you know can break it.
Expected publication: June 12th 2012

DE acord cu Theo, coperta si titlul sunt GENIALISSIM!! Si descrierea suna foarte bine, si imi place partea cu "opening your mind to the future and your heart to the one person you know can break it"

Cartile astea distopice parca devin din ce in ce mai bune. Ma bucur ca Leda a inclus acest gen in portofoliul lor. Si da, coperta chiar e frumos realizata.
Coperta este uimitoare, iar descrierea imi place mult.:)
offf chiar imi place cartea asta...vreau sa o citesc
titulul, cpoerta si descrierea ma fac sa vreau cartea asta
Coperta iti da impresia de o carte cu "printese" si lucruri de genu'...dar nu e asa:)
Splendida coperta dar nici actiunea nu e mai prejos.
