Marissa Meyer - Cinder
Százhuszonhat évvel a negyedik világháború után emberek és kiborgok népesítik be Új Peking utcáit. A népességet halálos járvány tizedeli. Az űrből kegyetlen holdlakók figyelnek és várnak a megfelelő alkalomra... Senki sem sejti, hogy a Föld sorsa egyetlen lány kezében van...
Cindert, a tizenhat éves kiborgot a társadalom nagy része technológiai tévedésnek tartja, mostohaanyja pedig ki nem állhatja. De a kiborglétnek is megvannak a maga előnyei: Cinder szinte mindent meg tud javítani (robotokat, lebegőket, sőt még a saját meghibásodott alkatrészeit is), ezért Új Peking legjobb műszerészének tartják. E hírnevének köszönheti azt is, hogy Kai herceg személyesen keresi fel, hogy hozza helyre meghibásodott androidját. A megbízás "nemzetbiztonsági ügy".
Vajon tényleg Cinder kezében van a Föld jövőjének kulcsa? Vagy a holdbéli királynőnek sikerül varázserejével és más fondorlatokkal meghódítania Kai herceget és vele az egész világot? A Holdbéli krónikák első könyve Hamupipőke klasszikus meséjét kombinálja a Terminátor és a Star Wars elemeivel. Az eredmény egy fantasztikus, magával ragadó történet.

Egy enklávéban éltem, ahol a legidősebb közülünk huszonöt éves volt. Némelyek azt suttogták, megváltás lenne számára a halál, de igazából csak nem akarták a saját maguk jövendőjét látni.
Pikk amióta csak az eszét tudja, vadásznő szeretett volna lenni. A vadászok feladata élelmet szerezni a közösségnek a föld alatti menedéket körülölelő, életveszélyes alagútrendszerből, amelyben örök sötétség honol, miközben igyekeznek elkerülni a Korcsokat, ezeket a zombiszerű, vérszomjas szörnyetegeket. Amikor az örök kívülálló, Fakó nevű vadászt osztják be mellé társul, aki titokzatos körülmények között került az enklávéba, a lányt tiltott érzelmek kerítik hatalmukba.
Fakóval hamarosan rádöbbennek, hogy a Korcsok egyre szervezettebben lépnek fel ellenük, ám az idősek nem hallgatnak figyelmeztetésükre. Megszokott kis világuk szertefoszlik, így rákényszerülnek, hogy szembenézzenek az ismeretlennel.
