A New York Times bestseller!

What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic's wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic's highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country's most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.

From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths - until the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family's survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias's death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.

Full of nonstop action, suspense, and romance, this novel is sure to move readers as much as it thrills.

this looks so good

this book is so good i cant wait to read prodigy

This is one of the best book i have ever read!

This book is really boring. It is about a girl's brother being killed and her looking for the suspect, Day. I thought the plot was very confusing.

This was an okay book. I thought the plot was all over the place and confusing. I read about half and skimmed the rest. I don't remember much, but all the characters got muddled up in my head.

amazing trilogy so far... can't wait for Champion!!!! (:

This book is a great book! It mixes adventure with other things and this book makes you want to read more and more of it. It is exciting and you can never guess what happens next.(except for one part).

I WANT TO READ THIS BOOK EXSPECIALLY AFTER READING DIVERGENT THE FIRST BOOK!!!!!!!! I WANT TO SEE THE MOVIE TO!!!! BUT I REALLY WANT TO READ THIS AND I WILL AFTER I FINSH THE BOOK ONE FOR THE MURPHY'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(:

This book is one of the best books in the world. Marie Lu does amazing.
