CRYSTAL CAVES by Joni Dobrov

Set before the events of "The Zim," Crystal Caves follows three young couples who abandon an elegant night in Elysian for a forbidden journey. For generations, the Crystal Caves have revealed the nature of the bond between two people. Not who they should love, but what already exists between them. What begins as a night of teenage freedom, friendship, dancing, and first love changes when the caves give each couple a radically different answer. **May and Franny receive deep blue: a bond seemingly destined to endure. Tanor and Uni receive red: passionate, powerful, but volatile. And Ki and Yunash receive something no one has ever seen before—luminous white.** They return home with more questions than answers, only to discover that their forbidden adventure may be the smallest of their problems. Something has begun to change within them, connecting this intimate coming-of-age story to a much larger mystery unfolding across the world of *The Zim*. At its heart, Crystal Caves is about young love, friendship, fate, and the danger of asking the future for an answer before you’re ready to live with it.
