The Merciless King of Moore High

Crosstown Kingdoms Series, Book 1

De: Lily Sparks

Narrado por: Stacy Gonzalez, Jon Vertullo

When the adults of Brockton, Connecticut, morphed into bloodthirsty monsters nine months ago, the students at Jefferson High barricaded themselves inside their school. Now eighteen-year-old Kay is trying to keep her classmates from starving.

Kay has no poker face and can't keep her mouth shut, so when she learns a secret that threatens the delicate power balance at Jefferson, she's dragged out of the school in a secret assassination attempt.

But when a raiding party of cheerleaders from crosstown rival Moore High comes to her rescue, Kay finds herself among ruthless, hard-partying road warriors who have adopted the feudal trappings of a video game. Life at Moore is violent and cliquish, but everyone is thriving-everyone who survives the monster hunts. For Moore's beloved King Max demands two things: absolute fealty and that everyone help kill the "dragons."

If Kay wants to survive, she must be granted asylum at Moore-which means slaying dragons, not asking the wrong questions, and navigating the rival factions, love triangles, and political intrigues. But when Kay discovers a deadly secret, her inability to hide the truth might spark the revolution that burns both schools to the ground.
