Overview

#1 New York Times- and USA Today-bestselling Marissa Meyer extends the world of the Lunar Chronicles with the thrilling next installment of the Wires and Nerve graphic novel series following Iko, the beloved android with a heart of (mechanized) gold. I certainly didn't ask for a bodyguard. If I had, I would have requested one with a sense of humor. Iko, now accompanied by a handsome royal guard named Liam, has been tasked with hunting down Alpha Lysander Steele. Unless Queen Cinder can reverse the mutations that were forced on them years before, Steele and his soldiers plan to satisfy their monstrous appetites with a massacre of the innocent people of Earth. And to show he's serious, Steele is taking hostages. As tensions rise and the situation grows dire, Iko and Liam race to find Steele and get the hostages to safety. But when Iko uncovers the truth about her own unusual programming, she will be forced to confront her deepest fears about love, friendship, and mortality. With appearances by Cinder, Cress, Scarlet, Winter, and the rest of the Rampion crew, this is a must-have for fans of the bestselling Lunar Chronicles series. Don't miss the other books in The Lunar Chronicles series: Cinder Scarlet Cress Winter Stars Above Fairest Wires and Nerve Vol. 1 Wires and Nerve Vol. 2: Gone Rogue
