What this book is about
Cress has been imprisoned in a satellite for years, working for the Lunar queen, but secretly feeding information to Cinder's crew. When rescue goes wrong, she's separated from everyone and stranded with Thorne—the charming, self-serving captain she's built an elaborate fantasy around. Cress is widely considered the series' best book.
