Juliette must make a choice. Be a weapon. Or a warrior. Combining a crumbling dystopian world with a compelling heroine who has inexplicable powers, Shatter Me is a mesmerising thriller. 'Addictive, intense, and oozing with romance.' - Lauren Kate, author of Fallen

I place my hand on his chest. I dare to trace the outline of the bird soaring across his skin. 'You're my bird,' I tell him. 'You're my bird and you're going to help me fly away.'

But Juliette has plans of her own. After a lifetime without freedom, without love, she's finally discovering her strength -- and maybe even a future with the one boy she thought she'd lost forever.
