The Last Voyage of Poe Blythe
Who do you become when you have nothing left to lose?
There is something Poe Blythe, the seventeen-year-old captain of the Outpost’s last mining ship, wants far more than the gold they tear from the Serpentine River.
Revenge.
Poe has vowed to annihilate the river raiders who robbed her of everything two years ago. But as she navigates the treacherous waters of the Serpentine and realizes there might be a traitor among her crew, she must also reckon with who she has become, who she wants to be, and the ways love can change and shape you. Even — and especially — when you think all is lost.
Ally Condie, the international bestselling author of the Matched trilogy, returns with an intricately crafted and emotionally gripping story of one young woman’s journey to move beyond the grief and anger that control her and find the inner strength to chart her own course.

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.
