Hybride - La série

« Addie et moi sommes nées dans le même corps. Deux âmes entrelacées bien avant de pousser notre premier cri. Les premières années vécues ensemble furent les plus heureuses. Puis vint le temps de l'inquiétude, et cette fameuse question que chacun se murmurait lorsque nous n'étions pas dans les parages : Pourquoi ne tranchent-elles pas ? Eh oui, trancher. Nous savions de quoi il s'agissait. Cela signifiait que l'une de nous devait prendre le contrôle. Et que l'autre, l'âme faible, devait être prête à s'éteindre... » Après avoir suivi de multiples thérapies et traitements, Eva ne devrait plus exister. Et pourtant ... Piégé dans un corps qui n'est plus censé être le sien, son esprit n'a pas disparu. Elle et sa soeur sont désormais « hybride » : de ces êtres qui se cachent car ils n'osent pas trancher. Ces êtres que l'on traque pour les enfermer dans des hôpitaux, d'où ils ne reviennent jamais.

Eva was never supposed to have survived this long. As the recessive soul, she should have faded away years ago. Instead, she lingers in the body she shares with her sister soul, Addie. When the government discovered the truth, they tried to “cure” the girls, but Eva and Addie escaped before the doctors could strip Eva’s soul away. Now fugitives, Eva and Addie find shelter with a group of hybrids who run an underground resistance. Surrounded by others like them, the girls learn how to temporarily disappear to give each soul some much-needed privacy. Eva is thrilled at the chance to be alone with Ryan, the boy she’s falling for, but troubled by the growing chasm between her and Addie. Despite clashes over their shared body, both girls are eager to join the rebellion. Yet as they are drawn deeper into the escalating violence, they start to wonder: How far are they willing to go to fight for hybrid freedom? Faced with uncertainty and incredible danger, their answers may tear them apart forever.

Addie and Eva barely survived the explosion at the Powatt institution, but they refuse to sit still as the nation ripples with rebellion. Then Marion, an ambitious reporter, offers Addie and Eva the chance to go undercover and film the wretched conditions of a hybrid institution. The girls are hesitant—things didn't turn out well last time they took such a risk. But Marion promises to free Jackson, the boy Addie loves, in return for their cooperation. As Eva and Addie walk into danger, they cling to each other and the hope of a better future. But the price they might pay is higher than they ever could have imagined. This final installation in the Hybrid Chronicles explores the search for identity, independence, and love with beautiful language and emotional depth that will captivate readers and fans of Ally Condie, Lauren Oliver, and Scott Westerfeld.
