About this series
Now that Olivia and David have discovered that their life in the city was a lie, their pursuit of the truth gives them a newfound purpose. Is there more to their Rare abilities than what they’ve discovered so far? Is there something about them that the government is trying to keep hidden?
Taken captive and tortured by her oppressors, Olivia narrowly escapes with help from an unexpected source. She rejoins what’s left of her new friends, only to find their home destroyed and coalition forces closing in to finish them off.
Running for their lives, they set out on a desperate quest to find the Haven, a mysterious city that is rumored to be harboring and protecting Rares. This journey will take them deep into the wilderness and bring them to the edges of another coalition stronghold before they find their way.
But the danger in front of them is rivaled only by the danger closing in behind them, and Olivia’s new abilities will be put to the test. As they discover more secrets, the ones they bring with them may be the most important of all.

Olivia Sloane doesn't want to live anymore. Her whole life is a struggle. Her health, her school, her social life, and even her relationship with her mother are all a mess. The world itself is a mess. With lethal acid rain and stifling, ever-present fog, nothing thrives in her home city, and it's even worse outside—or so she's been taught. Her best friend, David, also has a hard life, but he has hope. He's convinced that there's something better hidden beyond the fence surrounding their city and has always suggested escaping together. Olivia has never taken it seriously. But after a failed suicide attempt, her stay in the mental ward leads to a series of suspicious encounters with her mother and a fight at school. Feeling like there is nothing left to lose, she decides to give David's idea a shot. Despite their poor health and reports of killer beasts, Olivia and David brave the wilderness. The truth they discover there—not just about their society but about themselves—is more astonishing than anything they ever imagined.

Diane Anthony
Diane was born and raised in central Wisconsin, giving her the love of the wilderness that is apparent in her latest book, THE RARE. She's a big Marvel fan (sorry D.C. fans). She especially loves the X-Men universe and the variety of superpowers. So much so, her first book, SUPERNOVA, was inspired by it. A lifelong passionate reader, she has always been drawn to stories that have an element of superpowers or magic. As a writer, her work comes from that place of passion and those elements are often a focus of her own stories. Along with her love of the wilderness, she decided to write about the difficult subjects of teenage depression and suicide in THE RARE, drawing off her own experiences. These topics are often overlooked, but Diane understands that they are very real difficulties and they need to be handled with care.
