The Chemical Garden Collection (Boxed Set): Wither; Fever; Sever

By Lauren DeStefano

For the first printing only These books feature sprayed edges while the special edition supply lasts.

A teen fights to survive in a hostile world where girls are kidnapped and forced to produce heirs for the wealthy in the riveting, New York Times bestselling dystopian young adult trilogy reminiscent of The Handmaid's Tale. All three books feature a brand-new look and are available together in one collectible 15th anniversary boxed set

Rhine Ellery has four years left to live. A botched effort to create a perfect humanity has left all males with a lifespan of twenty-five years, and all females with one of twenty--and the world has fallen into a state of panic. Geneticists seek a miracle antidote, desperate orphans crowd the population, crime and poverty have skyrocketed, and girls are kidnapped off the streets and forced to serve as wives and bear children for the scions of the rich and powerful.

Despite her every precaution, Rhine is kidnapped and forced to become a bride. Kept under tight guard, and tossed into a glittering world of illusion, Rhine is given wealth and luxury beyond anything she's ever dreamed. Her every need is met...every need except freedom. With the help of sweet, caring Gabriel--a servant in the manor--Rhine will do anything it takes to escape, go home, and reunite with her twin brother. But the outside world is no safer, and betrayal, danger, and an underground resistance movement force Rhine to consider the true meaning of freedom and how she wants to spend her last years.
