All Who Live on Islands introduces a bold new voice in New Zealand literature. In these intimate and entertaining essays, Rose Lu takes us through personal history—a shopping trip with her Shanghai-born grandparents, her career in the Wellington tech industry, an epic hike through the Himalayas—to explore friendship, the weight of stories told and not told about diverse cultures, and the reverberations of our parents' and grandparents' choices. Frank and compassionate, Rose Lu's stories illuminate the cultural and linguistic questions that migrants face, as well as what it is to be a young person living in 21st-century Aotearoa New Zealand.
Adelina Amouteru's heart is set on revenge. Now known and feared as the White Wolf, she and her sister flee Kenettra to find other Young Elites in the hopes of building her own army. Her goal: to strike down the Inquisition Axis, the white-cloaked soldiers who nearly killed her. But Adelina is no heroine. Teren Santoro, leader of the Inquisition, wants her dead. And her former friends at the Dagger Society want to stop her thirst for vengeance. Adelina struggles to cling to the good within her. But how can someone be good, when her very existence depends on darkness?
Adelina pikir, tiada lagi penderitaan. Dia telah membalas dendam pada mereka yang mengkhianatinya. Sang Serigala putih memenangi takhta Kenettra, tapi seiring bertambahnya kekuasaan, dia menjadi semakin kejam. Kegelapan dalam dirinya semakin tak terkendali, ingin menghancurkan semua yang ada di dekat Adelina. Kemudian ancaman baru muncul, dan Adelina beserta para Mawar mau tak mau harus bekerja sama dengan para Belati untuk menghadapinya. Namun, aliansi mereka yang sarat kecurigaan dan pengkhianatan mungkin lebih berbahaya dari apa pun. Bagaimanakah nasib para Elite selanjutnya?
