The Last Love Story

The beginning of her love story… might be the end of the world.

From Katharyn Blair, author of The Beckoning Shadow and Unchosen, comes a standalone twist-filled teen romance set in a dystopian world, perfect for fans of The Hunger Games films.

Ripley Hart didn’t plan to break the law.

But on her eighteenth birthday, the Administration bans all books. Which means that the story Ripley wrote years ago, about her first love, is contraband.

It’s also gone viral. Suddenly, everyone is reading her story—and trying to write her next chapter:

Lyceum, a group of vigilante librarians, wants her to fight with them; the Machs, a ruthless faction of the rebellion, want her to kill for them; and President Graves wants her to be his Propaganda Princess.

Forced into a fake engagement with the president’s son and striking a tenuous truce with the annoyingly attractive leader of the Machs, Ripley takes control of the narrative.

She doesn’t know if a love story can save the world, but no matter what—she’s going to write her own ending.

“Introspective and suspenseful, the novel probes the ethics of protecting one’s values in a society where information is weaponized. It’s a pulse-pounding blend of shifting loyalties, competing resistance movements, and romance complicated by political power.” — Publishers Weekly
