The epic standalone dystopian romance from the Sunday Time bestselling author of A Study in Drowning and Lady Macbeth. Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and The Last of Us SURVIVAL SACRIFICE A LOVE THAT RISKS EVERYTHING ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Stunning . . . Among the dystopian greats.' Chloe Gong 'Brilliant and devastating, Fable for the End of the World will arm you with the strongest tools we have: both anger and hope.' Allison Saft 'Knife-edged and tender-hearted, I will be thinking of the final line for years to come' Courtney Gould ------------------------------------------------------ By encouraging massive accumulations of debt, a single corporation, Caerus, controls all aspects of society. Inesa lives with her brother in a half-sunken town, barely scraping a living from their taxidermy shop. But their mother has secretly accrued enormous debt - and the only way out is to offer her daughter up to be a sacrifice for Caerus's livestreamed assassination event: the Lamb's Gauntlet. Melinoë is the assassin chosen for this spectacle. The product of years of neural reconditioning and physiological alteration, she's a living weapon, famous for her cold brutality and deadly beauty. But she's also haunted by her failure in the last gauntlet, when she broke down live on screen. But as Mel pursues Inesa across the wasteland, each determined to claim victory, they begin to question what they've been taught. Could there be more to life than survival? Could they be capable of more than death? Could they, against all the odds, be falling in love? ---------------------------------- PRAISE FOR AVA REID 'A gargantuan hit . . .

"A stunning exploration of an ailing society and the love that thrives anyway. Fable for the End of the World entwines the harrowing with the poignant-and lands an ending that cements it high among the YA dystopian greats." - Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights
"Ava Reid's latest hearkens back to the dystopias of yore: a world of highs and lows, haves and have-nots, a drowning underworld ruled over by a city of brittle, icy beauty. Reid's observant, compelling prose makes this at once an homage to those classic tales, and something fresh and necessary, and all her own." - Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Three Dark Crowns
"With her singular gift for metaphor, Reid has crafted a frighteningly prescient dystopia about the ravages of corporate greed-and also a beautiful love story between two girls determined to survive. Brilliant and devastating, Fable for the End of the World will arm you with the strongest tools we have: both anger and hope." - Allison Saft, New York Times bestselling author of A Far Wilder Magic
"Knife-edged and tender-hearted, Fable for the End of the World will at once feel like your favorite classic dystopia and like nothing you've ever read. In a cruel, debt-driven world not vastly unlike our own, Reid explores the bravery of not just surviving, but learning to be truly alive. I will be thinking of the final line for years to come." - Courtney Gould, award-winning author of What the Woods Took
"Nobody balances sweetness with brutality, tenderness with violence, quite like Ava Reid. This hit all the nostalgic Hunger Games notes while bringing fresh sapphic blood to the dystopian genre-I inhaled it!" - L. K. Steven, Author of Silvercloak and Our Infinite Fates
Praise for A Study in Drowning: "Reid wields lyricism, dark academia, and fairy-core elements to eloquently imbue the narrative with originality and depth that ferries themes surrounding grief, gender, and the value of folklore." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Achingly atmospheric and beautifully sharp, A Study in Drowning will draw you in from the first page. A spell-binding mix of magic, myth, and mystery." - Rory Power, New York Times bestselling author of Wilder Girls

Darkly romantic and unsettlingly eerie, I will be thinking about this book for a long time to come." - Erin A. Craig, New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows and Small Favors
"As always, Ava Reid's worlds feel lived-in and rich in history. This one is also full of myth and superstition, and heavy rains that fall upon crumbling old houses. A rewarding, romantic read, with much to chew on." - Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Three Dark Crowns
"Lyrical, moving, and sensitive, A Study in Drowning is a magically romantic tale, filled with writing that will sweep you into a whimsical and gothic world. I'll recommend this beautiful and thoughtful book over and over again." - Isabel Ibañez, author of Together We Burn
