Cinder is set in the future city of New Beijing, capital of the Eastern Commonwealth, where a deadly plague spreads and tensions simmer with the powerful Lunar people who live on the moon. Cinder, a talented cyborg mechanic treated as a second-class citizen, crosses paths with Prince Kai when he brings her a repair job.
As the plague and political danger close in, Cinder is drawn into events far larger than herself, uncovering secrets about her own past. Blending fairy-tale retelling, science fiction, and romance, it’s the fast, engaging first book in the Lunar Chronicles.
