Description
In a devastated post-apocalyptic world, Pressia, a sixteen-year-old survivor bearing the haunting mark of catastrophe—a doll's head fused to her left hand—encounters Partridge, a sheltered "Pure" from within a protective dome who has ventured into the wasteland searching for his mother. As their worlds collide, Pressia and Partridge must navigate a landscape of danger and deception where the line between the pure and the contaminated defines survival itself. Julianna Baggott crafts a gripping tale of two young people from opposite sides of an apocalyptic divide, each carrying secrets that could reshape everything they believe about their fractured world. With visceral worldbuilding and compelling character arcs, Pure explores themes of identity, belonging, and the cost of survival in a society built on fear and separation. This haunting debut novel launches readers into a richly imagined dystopia where hope and danger walk hand in hand.
