Plot summary

In search of a future that may not exist and faced with the decision of who to share it with, Cassia journeys to the Outer Provinces in pursuit of Ky - taken by the Society to his certain death - only to find that he has escaped, leaving a series of clues in his wake. Cassia's quest leads her to question much of what she holds dear, even as she finds glimmers of a different life across the border. But as Cassia nears resolve and certainty about her future with Ky, an invitation for rebellion, an unexpected betrayal, and a surprise visit from Xander - who may hold the key to the uprising and, still, to Cassia's heart - change the game once again. Nothing is as expected on the edge of Society, where crosses and double crosses make the path more twisted than ever.

The book is narrated from alternating standpoints between Cassia and Ky. In the beginning of the book, Cassia is surprised by a visit by Xander, her match, while Ky is out in the Outer Provinces trying to find a way to her.

Sequel

Crossed is the second book in the Matched trilogy. The third installment is in the works.
