  1. Marissa Meyer _ Cress

    Captain! To your left there's a Lunar guard and on your right is a doctor who's running tests on Lunars and I'm being held by one of Levana's wolf hybrids and please be careful!"

I hope they spill soy sauce on their fancy dresses."Jacin's concern turned fast to annoyance. "Your ship has some messed-up priorities, you know that?""Iko. My name is Iko.

    Knees suddenly weak, she reached for his forearms to stabilize herself. "You came for me."He beamed, looking for all the world like a selfless, daring hero."Don't sound so surprised."
