Aria is a teenager in
the enclosed city of Reverie. Like all Dwellers, she spends her time
with friends in virtual environments, called Realms, accessed through an
eyepiece called a Smarteye. Aria enjoys the Realms and the easy life in
Reverie. When she is forced out of the pod for a crime she did not
commit, she believes her death is imminent. The outside world is known
as The Death Shop, with danger in every direction.
As an Outsider, Perry has always known hunger, vicious predators, and violent energy storms from the swirling electrified atmosphere called the Aether. A bit of an outcast even among his hunting tribe, Perry withstands these daily tests with his exceptional abilities, as he is gifted with powerful senses that enable him to scent danger, food and even human emotions.
They come together reluctantly, for Aria must depend on Perry, whom she considers a barbarian, to help her get back to Reverie, while Perry needs Aria to help unravel the mystery of his beloved nephew’s abduction by the Dwellers. Together they embark on a journey challenged as much by their prejudices as by encounters with cannibals and wolves. But to their surprise, Aria and Perry forge an unlikely love - one that will forever change the fate of all who live UNDER THE NEVER SKY.

Waarom ik niet kan wachten: Dystopia. Nog een nieuw dystopia boek op komst. Maar het is ook een beetje paranormaal, aangezien Perry vanalles kan aanvoelen (ruiken?). Dat lijkt mij een leuke combinatie. Voor de rest ziet het er mij spannend uit (dat is nu ook eenmaal een kenmerk van dystopia), alleen de namen. Aria en Perry. Aria doet me denken aan een roodaangelopen operazangeres en Perry aan zo'n slungelig jongentje met zijn vinger in zijn neus...
