(Book)

Sequel to: Tarnished city.

"Magically gifted aristocrats rule--and commoners are doomed to serve. But a rebellion threatens the old order. The dystopian trilogy that began with Gilded Cage and Tarnished City concludes. In a world where the lower classes must endure ten years of forced service to unfairly advantaged, magically powered rulers, a teenage boy dreams of rebellion, his older sister yearns for love and knowledge, and a dangerous young aristocrat seeks to remake the world with his dark gifts. In Bright Ruin, the final book in the trilogy set in modern-day England, our heroes will lead a revolution that will transform--or destroy--the world"--,Provided by publisher.

The rules are simple, the system cruel: the lower classes must give ten years in service to Britain's powerfully gifted rulers. With one uprising crushed by the glittering elite, commoners and aristocrats alike now take sides for a final confrontation. At the center of it all: Abi Hadley and her brother, Luke. Each has reason to hate the ruling Jardine family. But to end the shining tyranny, Abi, Luke, and Silyen Jardine find themselves bound by a single destiny. And the cost is almost too terrible to contemplate.... -- adapted from publisher info.
