In haar futuristische debuutroman heeft Veronica Rossi de mensheid in twee kampen verdeeld. Of je woont in een koepel en leidt een zo goed als compleet virtueel leven, of je woont buiten de koepel en bent overgeleverd aan de wetten van de natuur.Aria weet dat haar overlevingskansen in de woestenij – oftewel de Winkel des Doods – minimaal zijn nu ze is verstoten van haar thuis; de hermetisch afgesloten stad Reverie. Als ze al niet in handen valt van rondzwervende kannibalen, dan raakt ze waarschijnlijk wel gewond tijdens een van de zeer agressieve elektrische stormen die over de vlakte jagen en waarvan alleen de vrijgekomen lucht al dodelijk kan zijn. Wanneer ze de vlaktebewoner Perry tegenkomt, lijkt hij haar enige hoop om in leven te blijven. Ze besluiten samen op te trekken en luiden op die manier een nieuw tijdperk in voor iedereen die leeft in de wereld zonder hemel.

Fighting to survive in a ravaged world, a Dweller and a Savage form an unlikely alliance in New York Times bestselling author Veronica Rossi''s "unforgettable dystopian masterpiece" (Examiner.com). Exiled from her home, the enclosed city of Reverie, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland—known as The Death Shop—are slim. Then Aria meets an Outsider named Perry. He''s wild—a savage—and her only hope of staying alive. A hunter for his tribe in a merciless landscape, Perry views Aria as sheltered and fragile—everything he would expect from a Dweller. But he needs Aria''s help too; she alone holds the key to his redemption. In alternating chapters told in Aria''s and Perry''s voices, Under the Never Sky subtly and powerfully captures the evolving relationship between these characters and sweeps readers away to a harsh but often beautiful world. Continuing with Through the Ever Night and concluding with Into the Still Blue, the Under the Never Sky trilogy has already been embraced by readers in twenty-six countries and been optioned for film by Warner Bros.

"Quale raccapricciante segreto si nasconde dietro i misteriosi episodi che si verificano a Key West nel luglio del 2011? Lo sceriffo Albert Stone indaga su alcuni singolari omicidi: le vittime vengono ritrovate con i capelli bianchi e il volto contorto in un estremo urlo di terrore. Ma accanto a questi episodi agghiaccianti se ne verificano altri: sparizioni, delitti e incidenti sono all’ordine del giorno. La giornalista Lois Pike e Sean Black, il proprietario di una vecchia locanda un tempo frequentata da pirati, decidono di condurre delle indagini parallele a quelle svolte dallo sceriffo e la sua squadra. Lois e Sean sono, infatti, fermamente convinti che la verità sia da ricercare nel misterioso passato di Key West. I due arriveranno ben presto a scoprire una terrificante verità e si renderanno conto che tutti sono in pericolo... Un romanzo avvincente, che si divide tra il passato e il presente, mescolando luoghi, personaggi e fatti reali a quelli immaginari."
