Description
Black City by Elizabeth Richards is a young adult dystopian fantasy novel that combines forbidden romance, political conspiracy and a divided society still scarred by war.
In the aftermath of a bloody conflict between humans and Darklings, the two groups live apart, separated by a towering wall and held together by a fragile peace. Sixteen-year-old Ash Fisher is a half-blood Darkling, while Natalie Buchanan is human and the daughter of the powerful Emissary. Their worlds should never cross, yet an encounter between them sparks an extraordinary connection that causes Ash’s long-dormant heart to beat again.
As their attraction grows into a love that could cost them both their lives, Ash and Natalie must navigate prejudice, dangerous secrets and the threat of execution if their relationship is discovered. When they uncover a deadly conspiracy that could plunge the city back into war, their choices become even more consequential.
The first book in the Black City series, this dark, emotionally charged story explores love across enemy lines, racial division, power and the courage to challenge a society built on fear.
