A note for parents
This is a dystopian reimagining of Sophocles' Antigone set in a post-apocalyptic world. The novella contains themes of political power, family conflict, and revenge, with some violence and mature emotional content reflecting its source material. While it's a short work (82 pages) by a bestselling YA author, the themes of defiance against authority and emotional darkness suggest a teen rather than middle-grade audience.

In this gripping and atmospheric reimagining of Antigone, #1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth reaches back to the root of legend and delivers a world of tomorrow both timeless and unexpected. “I’m cursed, haven’t you heard?” Outside the last city on Earth, the planet is a wasteland. Without the Archive, where the genes of the dead are stored, humanity will end. Antigone’s parents—Oedipus and Jocasta—are dead. Passing into the Archive should be cause for celebration, but with her militant uncle Kreon rising to claim her father's vacant throne, all Antigone feels is rage. When he welcomes her and her siblings into his mansion, Antigone sees it for what it really is: a gilded cage, where she is a captive as well as a guest. But her uncle will soon learn that no cage is unbreakable. And neither is he. “Roth is a masterful conjurer, summoning both classic myth and visceral dystopia to weave a breathtaking tale of love, avarice, and the timeless desire for revenge.” — Ryka Aoki, bestselling author of Light From Uncommon Stars At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
