An absorbing, emotionally overwhelming novel, rich in incident and character, The Chosen Ones is obliquely illuminated by the author's sharp sense of the absurd. Through the eyes of a child inmate, Adrian Ziegler, and a nurse, Anna Katschenka, Steve Sem-Sandberg, the author of the award-winning The Emperor of Lies, explores the very meaning of survival. The Nazi regime's euthanasia program would come to determine the fate of many of the clinic's inhabitants. The reality, however, was very different: in the wake of Germany's annexation of Austria on the eve of World War II, its doctors, nurses, and teachers created a monstrous parody of the institution's benign-sounding brief. The Am Spiegelgrund clinic, in glittering Vienna, masqueraded as a well-intentioned reform school for wayward boys and girls and a home for chronically ill children. Fans of Sarah J Maas and Leigh Bardugo will love the bold twists, riveting worldbuilding, and slow-sizzle romance of Chosen Guardian!

Now I have no choice but to take up this fight alone.

But when I discover his darkest secret of all, his allegiance wavers, leaving me with no one I can trust.

Aside from not wanting to become a magic-producing slave to the Arcaians, I can't help but be drawn to Talon. Especially when his heavily guarded secrets put us both in more danger than I could ever have imagined.

I can't defend myself against an army, so when one of their rogue soldiers offers to help, I'm forced to create an alliance but aligning with the rugged, battle-scarred Talon comes with risks of its own. When I find a vial of these enchanted tears, it paints a target on my back with the Arcaians.

In an emotionless world, tears are a precious commodity, valued for their magic and sold on the black market. The ruthless Arcaian soldiers use tears to steal magic, and now, they're after me.
