The Dust Lands Trilogy (Collected Set) - by Moira Young (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In Blood Red Road, Saba is forced to flee Silverlake, a dried-up wasteland ravaged by constant sandstorms, when four cloaked horsemen capture her beloved twin brother Lugh. Suddenly thrown into the lawless, ugly reality of the outside world, Saba discovers she is a fierce fighter--and when she teams up with a handsome daredevil named Jack and a gang of girl revolutionaries, Saba stages a showdown that will change the course of her civilization. The action continues in Rebel Heart when a new enemy arises, and Saba needs all of her warrior's strength just to survive. The stakes only get higher in Raging Star. Because although Saba knows how to fight--she's not called the Angel of Death for nothing--sometimes there are fights that cannot be won. How much will she sacrifice to save the people she loves?

This riveting trilogy is "a natural for Hunger Games fans" (Publishers Weekly) that makes an ideal gift.

"Blood Red Road is an eerie and adventurous dystopian fantasy on par with Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games and Paolo Bacigalupi's Ship Breaker."--LA Times

"Blood Red Road will capture any reader who picks it up. I love everything about Saba - her language, her intensity, her heart. Everyone should read her story."--James Dashner, author of The Maze Runner

"Better than The Hunger Games. . . . This book will blow you away."--MTV's Hollywood Crush blog

"I absolutely loved Blood Red Road. What a great read! Moira Young goes over the top with a most engaging heroine. Saba is a crusty, foul-tempered warrior woman who must be covered in scar tissue by the end of the book, but men still follow her around like starving wolves. The dialogue is fast and often humorous, the pace never lets up. No situation is so bad that it can't get worse in the next couple of pages. I especially liked the awakening of the hellwurms as they emerge to feed. Well done, Ms. Young!"--Nancy Farmer, author of The House of the Scorpion

"Is it any surprise that Ridley Scott swiftly optioned the book?"--New York Times Book Review
