Seek the Traitor's Son

‘Her most compelling work to date . . . Veronica Roth knows exactly how to break your heart’
– Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six

From Veronica Roth, the legendary author of the Divergent series, Seek the Traitor’s Son is a dazzling, epic tale of war, fate and devastating love.

Elegy didn’t ask to be a hero. She’s just a soldier defending her homeland against a ruthless empire. One that worships a fever which brings death to everyone it touches . . . except those it resurrects, forever changed.

But then a devastating prophecy pits Elegy against their enemy’s most notorious general. It says that one of them will carry their people to victory, and the other will fall. And standing between them, right at the centre of this war, is a man: the knight sworn to protect Elegy at all costs.

The prophecy warns this knight will bring her death – and that she will fall in love with him. With her nation at stake, Elegy must navigate a treacherous path. But she intends to triumph, even if it breaks her heart.
