Arch-Conspirator
From dystopian visionary and bestselling phenomenon Veronica Roth comes a razor-sharp reimagining of Antigone. In Arch-Conspirator, Roth reaches back to the root of legend and delivers a world of tomorrow both timeless and unexpected.
Outside the last city on Earth, the planet is a wasteland. Without the Archive, where the genes of the dead are stored, humanity will end.
Passing into the Archive should be cause for celebration, but Antigone’s parents were murdered, leaving her father’s throne vacant. As her militant uncle Kreon rises to claim it, all Antigone feels is rage. When he welcomes her and her siblings into his mansion, Antigone sees it for what it really is: a gilded cage, where she is a captive as well as a guest.
But her uncle will soon learn that no cage is unbreakable. And neither is he.

Veronica Roth
Veronica Roth, the mind behind the Divergent series, has carved out her place as one of the leading voices in young adult dystopian fiction. Born in 1988 in Chicago, Illinois, Roth’s early life was filled with a love for storytelling, which she nurtured through writing short stories, novels, and more. Her path to success wasn’t instantaneous; it was a journey of honing her craft and embracing her unique voice.
Roth’s breakout moment came in 2011 with the publication of Divergent, the first book in a trilogy set in a future society divided into factions based on virtues. This high-stakes world, with its exploration of identity, fear, and rebellion, resonated deeply with readers, launching Roth into the spotlight. But Divergent wasn’t just a story about a girl caught in a conflict—it was a reflection of the complexities of choice and control, and how the decisions we make shape not just ourselves, but the world around us.
