Asunder

From the New York Times bestselling coauthor of My Plain Jane comes the thrilling and romantic second novel in the Incarnate trilogy, a fantasy series about a girl who is the first new soul born into a society where everyone else has been reborn hundreds of times.

As a Newsoul, Ana has always felt alone. Some residents of Heart are afraid of Ana's presence, a constant reminder of unstoppable change and the unknown. When the people turn violent, Ana must learn to stand up not only for herself, but also for those who cannot stand up for themselves.

Romantic and action-filled, the rich world of Asunder is perfect for fans of epic fantasy, like Graceling by Kristin Cashore and The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson, while Ana's courage to expose the cracks in society and fight for what is right is ideal for fans of dystopian novels.

Shadows

In the second book of Jodi Meadows's Incarnate trilogy, Ana discovers the truth about reincarnation and will have to find a way to embrace love and make her young life meaningful. asunder explores the beauty and shadowed depths of the soul in a story equal parts epic romance and captivating fantasy.

“One word: Breathtaking. More words: Heart-melting. Soul-feeding. Mind-blowing. INCARNATE captured all of me and won’t let go.” - Jeri Smith-Ready, award-winning author of the Shade trilogy

“Lyrical and thought-provoking, INCARNATE is the kind of book that stays with you long after you’ve turned the last page. I loved it!” - Rachel Hawkins, New York Times Bestselling author of Hex Hall and Demonglass

“An absorbing fantasy.” - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

PRAISE FOR INCARNATE: “The romance is captivating, as are the questions raised by the reincarnations. […]This would be a thought-provoking choice for anyone who is looking to move beyond vampires, werewolves, and angels.” - School Library Journal

Once again, the innovation in the world-building is impressive; Meadows has sustained the mythology of Heart and delves deeper into the questions of human existence, foundations of worship, and the dangers of groupthink. It sounds like more than one would expect from a dystopian/othernormal romance, but it’s a perfect match to its predecessor. - School Library Journal
