The Outcast
Hok'ee Jareb has nowhere in the galaxy to call home. Abandoned as an infant on the desert planet Korritorjim, he is ascertained by its inhabitants, the Das nervin, to be an aresh-an instrument of war-sent to them by Hok'ee's home tribe, the Xai. In order to maintain a fragile peace-given the nervin tribes' thousand-year history of warring amongst themselves-the Das decide to let Hok'ee live.

Hok'ee is raised an outcast. He does not look anything like the Das nervin around him. He is ostracized, bullied, and abused. But not broken. The injustice Hok'ee experiences and sees around him only serves to ignite a fire, a fierce desire to right the world's many wrongs, to rise up from the dust of his circumstances. Somehow, Hok'ee feels certain that he is destined for more.

Along the way, he is betrayed and abandoned repeatedly until he finally finds one person who sticks by him, who teaches him what it means to truly be loved: his haliin-his soul mate-and childhood friend, Öökyo Varkinis. Together, Hok'ee and Öökyo must navigate a disjointed, perilous world. Together, they discover a danger that no one in nervin space is prepared for. Hok'ee knows that salvation of the nervin race is up to him. But how? And at what cost?

Will love be enough to give Hok'ee the strength he needs to become the person he was always meant to be?

About the Author

“A cause for celebration. The Couple at the Table has everything you want in a mystery—a cryptic threat, a murder, a closed circle of suspects and an unguessable solution. Completely ingenious, entirely satisfying—a delight from start to finish.” - Alex Michaelides, New York Times bestselling author
“A wise and witty portrait of modern marriage and murder.” - Times (UK) on The Couple at the Table
“Hannah’s plots are like intricate jigsaw puzzles whose pieces you cannot believe will fit together, until you see the completed picture… The fun in reading The Next to Die…isn’t in learning whodunit, but in following the labyrinthine byways of its author’s peculiar worldview and the twisted motives of her characters.”  - New York Times
“No one writes twisted, suspenseful novels quite like Sophie Hannah.” - Liane Moriarty #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Sophie Hannah... has clearly mastered the psychological methodology [of] Gillian Flynn or Tana French. Her unreliable narrator commands our attention and even our sympathy.”  - NPR
“Part whodunnit, part psychological thriller, this one will leave you looking over your shoulder and a little less trustful of those around you.” - CrimeReads (Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2022) on The Couple at the Table
“Hannah builds on her suspenseful premise with well-placed clues and a superb sense of timing, all the way to a crash-and-burn ending.” - New York Times Book Review on Perfect Little Children
