Sixteen-year-old Lark Ainsley has never seen the sky.
Her world ends at the edge of the vast domed barrier of energy enclosing all that’s left of humanity. For two hundred years the city has sustained this barrier by harvesting its children's innate magical energy when they reach adolescence. When it’s Lark’s turn to be harvested, she finds herself trapped in a nightmarish web of experiments and learns she is something out of legend itself: a Renewable, able to regenerate her own power after it’s been stripped.
Forced to flee the only home she knows to avoid life as a human battery, Lark must fight her way through the terrible wilderness beyond the edge of the world. With the city’s clockwork creations close on her heels and a strange wild boy stalking her in the countryside, she must move quickly if she is to have any hope of survival. She’s heard the stories that somewhere to the west are others like her, hidden in secret—but can she stay alive long enough to find them?

Endnu engang er det et smukt cover, der har gjort mig interesseret - faktisk troede jeg, den handlede om feer. Jeg synes slet ikke coveret passer sammen med beskrivelsen af bogen, som lyder spændende men ikke så gådefuldt og magisk som coveret lægger op til.
Men den lyder altså spændende og må meget gerne komme hjem til mig! Den koster ca. 10 £ hos amazon.co.uk i hardcover.
Jeg er bare helt forelsket i det cover det - det er toppen af pænhed :P
SvarSletJa det er ufatteligt smukt! Men minder mere om noget fe-eventyr for mig, måske fordi snoningerne i hjørnerne minder om noget fra Kagawas Fey-bøger
