Winner of a Victorian Premier's Literary Award, a NSW Literary Award and an Aurealis Award and shortlisted for an Australian Book Industry Award, Anomaly is the unputdownable first book in the Children of Fate trilogy.

Piper Manning survived the apocalypse. Barely.

She recovered from the virus that killed millions, but it left behind a new, uncontrollable power that's forced her to isolate herself from others – for their sake.

Then an injured boy shows up at her mountain hideaway. And what hurt Seth is out to get her, too.

Now she's on the run, risking everything for a shot at an actual future. But to get there, she'll have to trust a stranger, control her abilities ... and face her ghosts.

Because the end of the world was just the beginning.

The award-winning first book in a high-octane YA trilogy, Anomaly will force you to question destiny, memory and how far you would go to survive.
