After a lot of time, angst, writing, editing, and more writing and editing, the release date for the final book in the Contributor series is almost here. I don't have a firm date yet, but the book will be out by the end of June.

I thought I might feel sad about finishing, and I do feel some sadness. I'll miss these characters. I've spent more time with them than I have with any of my other characters. However, I'm excited too. Trying to finish the trilogy scared me for a long time because I was afraid of screwing it up, but I'm very happy with how the story turned out, and I hope readers will be too.

A word of caution: If you haven't read the first two books in the trilogy, you might not want to read the description for this book as it gives some plot elements away.

The final book in the post-apocalyptic and dystopian young adult/new adult Contributor trilogy.

Disillusioned and angry at the revelation of the Free Thinkers' secret patron, Dara isn't sure whether her decision to join them was the right choice. Guilt over Letizia's loss plagues her, and she feels betrayed by one of the few people in whom she placed her trust.

Adjusting to life outside of the domes hasn't been easy over the past six months, especially because the Free Thinkers' progress is so frustratingly slow. Nothing has changed, and she doesn't know how much longer she can deny her searing need for vengeance, or even whether she should place her faith in the Free Thinkers. The more the truth about both them and the Creators is revealed, the less certain she is that the two are all that different. What if she handed them the incriminating evidence they need to exploit to ensure a future that looks a lot like what the Creators envisioned?

Yet Dara has never been more certain of one thing: the Creators must pay—for what they did to her mother, for what they did to Letizia, and for what they've done to humanity.

I am SUPER excited to take part in the cover reveal for the final book in Zoe Cannon's Internal Defense trilogy, No Return. Zoe is one of my Infinite Ink counterparts, but I've been a big fan of Zoe's trilogy since long before we joined forces. If you love young adult dystopian, you don't want to miss this series.

So without further ado, behold the fantastic cover for No Return!

Every dissident knows about Becca Dalcourt.

They know about the lives she’s saved. About the prison break she carried out against impossible odds. They know she turned a dying resistance into the first real threat Internal Defense has faced in a long time.

And even now, with the resistance under attack from the inside, they know Becca can save them.

They’re wrong.

The conclusion to the story that began with The Torturer’s Daughter and Necessary Sacrifices, No Return explores what happens when an ordinary person becomes a legend – and how to choose between who you are and who the world needs you to be.

No Return will be released on May 21st, 2014.

Zoe Cannon writes about the things that fascinate her: outsiders, societies no sane person would want to live in, questions with no easy answers, and the inner workings of the mind. If she couldn't be a writer, she would probably be a psychologist, a penniless philosopher, or a hermit in a cave somewhere. While she'll read anything that isn't nailed down, she considers herself a YA reader and writer at heart. She lives in New Hampshire with her husband and a giant teddy bear of a dog, and spends entirely too much time on the internet.
