Crossed
The hotly awaited second book in the dystopian Matched trilogy
In search of a future that may not exist and faced with the decision of
who to share it with, Cassia journeys to the Outer Provinces in pursuit
of Ky - taken by the Society to his certain death – only to find that he has escaped, leaving a series of clues in his wake.
Cassia's
quest leads her to question much of what she holds dear, even as she
finds glimmers of a different life across the border. But as Cassia
nears resolve and certainty about her future with Ky, an invitation for
rebellion, an unexpected betrayal, and a surprise visit from Xander –
who may hold the key to the uprising and, still, to Cassia's heart –
change the game once again. Nothing is as expected on the edge of
Society, where crosses and double crosses make the path more twisted
than ever.

Ally Condie
In a world of rules and quiet rebellion, Ally Condie found her voice by asking one of the most haunting questions in young adult literature: What if the system chose everything for you—including who you love? With her Matched trilogy, she invited readers into a society of eerie perfection, where poetry is contraband and choice is the ultimate act of defiance.
Raised in Cedar City, Utah, Condie didn’t always dream of dystopias. Before her novels landed on bestseller lists and sparked global conversations about autonomy and identity, she was a high school English teacher—something that deeply shaped her intuitive understanding of young minds and their emotional landscapes. Her writing doesn't talk down to teens; it listens. It wonders. It gives space to the questions they’re already asking.
