New York Times bestseller!
"Sara Holland is a fierce storyteller. Everless gives new and terrifying meaning to the phrase running out of time." -Stephanie Garber, New York Times bestselling author of Caraval
In the kingdom of Sempera, time is currency-extracted from blood, bound to iron, and consumed to add time to one's own lifespan. The rich aristocracy, like the Gerlings, tax the poor to the hilt, extending their own lives by centuries.
No one resents the Gerlings more than Jules Ember. A decade ago, she and her father were servants at Everless, the Gerlings' palatial estate, until a fateful accident forced them to flee in the dead of night. When Jules discovers that her father is dying, she knows that she must return to Everless to earn more time for him before she loses him forever.
But going back to Everless brings more danger-and temptation-than Jules could have ever imagined. Soon she's caught in a tangle of violent secrets and finds her heart torn between two people she thought she'd never see again. Her decisions have the power to change her fate-and the fate of time itself.
Fans of Victoria Aveyard, Kendare Blake, and Stephanie Garber will devour this lush novel's breathtaking action, incredible romance, and dangerous secrets.

"Sara Holland is a fierce storyteller. An intoxicating blend of blood, secrets, and haunting mythology, Everless gives new and terrifying meaning to the phrase running out of time." Stephanie Garber, New York Times bestselling author of Caraval
Das Mädchen Jules lebt in einer bedrückenden Welt, in einer Zeit, als Geld den Menschen wie Blut abgezapft wird. Als Jules, um ihre Familie zu unterstützen, eine Anstellung bei einem reichen Adelsclan findet, der seine Untergebenen gnadenlos ausbeutet, trifft sie auf eine sinistre Gesellschaft voller Intrigen, es gibt einen Mord und ein mysteriöses Familiengeheimnis. Den romantischen Thrill, wichtiges Motiv für die Leselust, liefert die Liebesgeschichte, in der das Mädchen zwischen den beiden sehr unterschiedlichen Söhnen der Familie hin- und hergerissen wird, deren wahre Absichten sich erst am Schluss enthüllen. Es bleiben aber, nach den Cliffhängern, genügend ungelöste Fragen für die Fortsetzung dieser historischen und mythischen Fantasygeschichte. (ab 13 Jahre)
