Welcome back to Cover Story, a feature in which plots are imagined based solely on the cover -- with a #YASummerShowdown mashup twist!
Under the Never Sky Is Everywhere: A Cover Story by the Vancouver, WA FYA Book Club (#FYAVWA)
17-year-old Arynnie has spent her life living in her sister's virtual realities. But when her sister suddenly dies, she is catapulted out of their domed city, Reverie, and into the Real. Her fate out in the Real is almost certain death. It's a place filled with cannibals and Aether storms, where even the air can kill her.
She meets Outsider Jerry while wandering the wasteland, leaving scraps of poetry in trees and under rocks, and knows he is her only chance of survival. Jerry is searching for his nephew, who was sold to Reverie for food to feed his desperate tribe, and so he grudgingly agrees to protect her if she helps him bring his nephew, Talon, home.
As they journey to Reverie, their mutual hostility lessens. Once there, they are able to rescue not only Talon but also Caloby, Ayrnnie's old friend - and her dead sister's boyfriend. Suddenly Arynnie has the attention of not one boy, but two. Caloby reminds her of her sister's thousands of invented realities, but life with Jerry is real. Does she have time for this conflict when the sky is literally exploding?
