Description
The Map of Bones is the second book in Francesca Haig's critically acclaimed trilogy. In this post-apocalyptic world, four hundred years after a nuclear fire devastated the Earth, society has regressed to a primitive state. A unique phenomenon has created an apartheid-like system, where one twin is born physically perfect and the other is burdened with deformity.
Omegas, those with deformities, are branded and ostracized, while Alphas, who are physically perfect, have gathered the world's resources for themselves. However, this strict hierarchy has a fatal flaw: whenever one twin dies, so does the other. Cass, a rare Omega, possesses psychic foresight, and her twin Zach holds power on the Alpha Council. Cass dares to dream of equality between Alphas and Omegas, but both the Council and the Resistance have her in their sights.
