'The Darkest Minds': See the cover for Alexandra Bracken's YA sequel -- EXCLUSIVE

Never Fade doesn’t hit shelves until Oct. 15, but Bracken will publish a bridge e-book, In Time, on July 16. “I hear all the time that readers are tired of dystopian novels—well, good news! This series has so much more to offer. It really is a near-future thriller with romance, sci-fi, and dystopian elements thrown in, and it’s meant to feel as though something like this could happen tomorrow,” Bracken says. “As intense as the action is, as ravaged as this version of America has become, and as terrifying as the kids’ abilities are, the true core of the story is the bond these kids form with one another as they desperately try to stay safe and alive.”
