#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In the second book of the acclaimed Young Elites series, Adelina is done being the victim and begins to amass her own army of allies in order to seek revenge.

“[Readers] will be fascinated to watch the main character descend into villainy and revel in it.”—School Library Journal

“A tightly woven tapestry of a story that ensnares even as it disturbs.”—Booklist, starred review
Once upon a time, a girl had
a father, a prince,
a society of friends.

Then they betrayed her,
and she destroyed them all.

Adelina Amouteru’s heart has suffered at the hands of both family and friends, turning her down the bitter path of revenge. Now known and feared as the White Wolf, she flees Kenettra with her sister to find other Young Elites in the hopes of building her own army of allies. Her goal: to strike down the Inquisition Axis, the white-cloaked soldiers who nearly killed her.

But Adelina is no heroine. Her powers, fed only by fear and hate, have started to grow beyond her control. She does not trust her newfound Elite friends. Teren Santoro, leader of the Inquisition, wants her dead. And her former friends, Raffaele and the Dagger Society, want to stop her thirst for vengeance. Adelina struggles to cling to the good within her. But how can someone be good when her very existence depends on darkness?
