THE UNQUIET has one of the most unique premises and protagonists that I’ve ever read. But when Lira arrives at her new home, she will discover that not everything is what it seems, and sometimes being the perfect solider doesn’t equate to real happiness. The Sleepers are intent on being the ones not to disappear from the Earths, and she is one of the soldiers in their plan. Lirael was taken as a child to be trained to eventually kill and replace her duplicate on a different Earth. An intricate, literary stand-alone from an astonishing new voice, The Unquiet takes us deep inside the psyche of a strong teenage heroine struggling with what she has been raised to be and who she really is. Lira has been trained mercilessly since childhood to learn everything she can about her duplicate, to be a ruthless sleeper-assassin who kills that other Lirael and steps seamlessly into her life. They-and their whole planet-are slowly disappearing. But the people from the second Earth know something their duplicates do not-two versions of the same thing cannot exist. Two copies of every city, every building, even every person. The two Earths are identical in almost every way. Fans of eerily futuristic and beautifully crafted stories such as Never Let Me Go, Orphan Black, and Fringe will find themselves haunted by this unsettling debut. But she's beginning to suspect she is not a good person. For most of her life, Lirael has been training to kill-and replace-a duplicate version of herself on a parallel Earth.
