No one leaves. No one fights. And no one questions why.But their paradise has been hiding its thorns. When Rose’s mother becomes the Valley’s first murder victim and her twin brother is swiftly condemned\, she alone is searching for the real killer. Determined to find the truth\, she follows a trail of hidden messages\, forbidden knowledge\, and whispers of a past no one dares to remember.The deeper she digs\, the more certain Rose becomes that her mother’s death was no accident. That the Wall isn’t just keeping something out.It’s keeping something in.Fans of The Hunger Games\, The Grace Year\, and The Maze Runner will devour The Verdant Cage―a chilling dystopian thriller about what it takes to rebel when you discover your entire world is a lie. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the authors: \n\n\n\nJess Lourey writes about secrets. She’s the bestselling\, two-time Edgar-Award-nominated\, two-time Goodreads Choice Awards shortlisted\, Anthony Award-winning\, ITW Thriller Award-winning\, and Minnesota Book Award-winning author of young adult\, crime fiction\, nonfiction\, children’s books\, and book club fiction. She’s surpassed a million readers\, and her books have been translated into more than a dozen languages. Check out her TEDx Talk for the surprising\, vulnerable story behind her first published novel. When Jess isn’t traveling the world researching her next story\, she lives in Minneapolis with a rotating batch of foster kittens (and the occasional foster puppy\, but those goobers are a lot of work). \n\n\n\nMary E. Roach is a former teacher who now writes across genres and age categories\, including young adult thirllers\, romantic suspense\, romantasy\, and middle grade fantasy. When she is not writing stories for and about powerful women\, Mary enjoys running\, teaching martial arts\, and disappearing into the wilderness. Mary lives in St. Paul with her wife and their very disagreeable cat. Her young adult titles include Better Left Buried\, about two girls who fall in love during a murder investigation at an abandoned amusement park\, and Seven for a Secret\, about a vengeful girl looking for answers about her missing sisters. Her adult titles include We Are the Match\, a romantic suspense featuring a contemporary remix of the myth of Helen of Troy featuring a sapphic romance\, crime families\, and explosive love\, and Love at First Kill\, a forthcoming romantic suspense about a hitman and a grumpy ex-librarian both gunning for the same target. Mary’s other forthcoming titles include Bromantasy\, a joyful romantasy about two best “bros” who fall in love while on a dragon-hunt they’re deeply\, embarassingly unqualified for\, and Little Monsters\, a fantastical middle grade reimaging of Little Women.
