Fleeing from the dangerous and powerful Mage society she has betrayed, Zara has taken refuge in the Maker city of Gengst, where she knows she will face persecution and death if her identity is uncovered. She must live without magic--and even though she can finally be with the man she loves--her new life is far from the utopia she had dreamt it would be.As the Knowledge Seekers work together to build machines powerful enough to end the centuries-long war between the mages and the non-magical Makers, Zara finds her loyalties and love tested to breaking point. She must face the evil that is her heritage, uncover the truth behind the childhood tragedy that haunts her--and find the strength to believe in herself.* Beautifully written and heartbreakingly evocative, OUTCASTE is the thrilling sequel to March 2014's TRIBUTE*The perfect blend of fantasy and romance, this is the next read for fans of DIVERGENT and Trudi Canavan
