Overview
This paperback collection brings together Marie Lu's Young Elites trilogy in one brand-new set: The Young Elites, The Rose Society, and The Midnight Star. Set in a Renaissance-inspired world scarred by a deadly blood fever, the story follows Adelina Amouteru, a survivor left with strange markings and a terrifying gift, drawn into a secret society of the young and marked. Across three volumes, Lu traces Adelina's transformation from outcast to feared leader, weaving political intrigue and high-stakes battles for power. A great gift for teen readers who love dark, twist-filled fantasy.
About the Books
The Young Elites trilogy unfolds in a Renaissance-inspired world reshaped by the blood fever, a plague that left surviving children, the malfettos, marked with strange scars and, in rare cases, extraordinary abilities. Adelina Amouteru is one such survivor, cast aside by her own family, until she discovers a devastating power to conjure illusions and manipulate fear. In The Young Elites, she joins the secret Dagger Society, led by the charismatic Enzo, and must decide whether to embrace her darker instincts. The Rose Society follows Adelina after a fracture with her former allies, as she builds her own faction and edges closer to the ruthlessness she fears in herself. The Midnight Star brings the saga to its conclusion, forcing Adelina to confront the full cost of her choices as her nation's fate hangs in the balance. Across all three books, Marie Lu builds a richly detailed world of rival courts and shifting alliances, anchored by a heroine whose arc resists easy categories of good and evil.
