Perfect for fans of Marissa Meyer's The Lunar Chronicles and Marie Lu's Legend series, Amelia Kahaney's The Brokenhearted is a gorgeous, gritty, and imaginative take on the superhero story. Anthem Fleet, talented ballerina and heir to the Fleet fortune, has always been closely guarded by her parents in their penthouse apartment. Lured by the handsome and dangerous Gavin, Anthem is drawn into the dark and exhilarating world on the wrong side of town. But when the couple runs into trouble, Gavin goes missing and Anthem winds up dead . . . only to awaken in an underground lab with a bionic heart ticking in her chest. Now she can run faster, jump higher, fight better. But the only thing that matters to her is getting Gavin back. And when she uncovers the sinister truth behind those she trusted the most, she is determined to use her newfound powers for the ultimate revenge.
Set in the ruined fictional landscape of Bedlam, a Gotham-like city, this tale of heartbreak and revenge is both gripping and cinematic.
She was a ballerina. Now she's a weapon. But will her new heart mend her old one, or just help her get even?
- Teen Vigilante Justice: Once a pampered ballerina, Anthem Fleet now stalks the shadows of Bedlam City, using her superhuman abilities to hunt down the people who murdered her.
- Dark Cyberpunk Romance: She was lured into the city's dark underworld by the handsome and dangerous Gavin. Now, he's missing, and finding him is the only thing that matters.
- A High-Stakes Revenge Thriller: When Anthem uncovers a sinister conspiracy that goes all the way to the top, her quest for answers turns into a mission for the ultimate revenge.
- A Bionic Second Chance: Killed and resurrected with a powerful bionic heart, Anthem can run faster, jump higher, and fight harder than ever before. But her second chance at life comes with a price.
