What this book is about

In the second Delirium novel, Lena has escaped to the Wilds after the devastating events of the first book. Alternating between her brutal introduction to the Wilds and a present-day mission in which she goes undercover with the resistance in New York, Pandemonium introduces Julian Fineman, the son of a powerful DFA leader, and builds toward a revelation that upends everything. Oliver's second installment maintains the series' emotional intensity and raises the dystopian stakes considerably.
