A group of caribou gather together to run a race. Starting at the beginning of the course, readers join in the fun as the caribou engage in some rather outlandish tricks in order to be the first to cross the finish line. (Banana skins, for example, are an effective way to get rid of some opponents.) But in the midst of this titanic struggle for victory, some of the caribou stop to question the merits of their single-minded pursuit of winning at all costs. In the end, the reader is left to decide who the real winner is in this cautionary tale about the ups and downs of winning and losing.

《Obsidian》是 Jennifer L. Armentrout 風靡全球的 Lux 系列首部曲，結合青春校園、外星科幻與愛情張力，節奏明快、情感鮮明。十七歲的 Katy Swartz 隨家人搬到西維吉尼亞州，原以為迎接她的只有無聊與慢速網路，卻意外遇見外表耀眼、性格惡劣的鄰居 Daemon Black。兩人一見面就火花四射——而且多半是怒火。一次突如其來的攻擊事件，讓 Katy 發現 Daemon 能操控時間，而他真正的身分並非普通人類。隨著外星勢力的威脅逼近，Katy 被捲入一場超出日常的危險之中，也被迫與 Daemon 並肩而行。敵意、吸引、信任與曖昧交錯展開，使這段關係既緊張又難以抽身。本書以第一人稱描寫女主角的成長與選擇，語氣直率，情感張力十足，是一部兼具娛樂性與系列吸引力的青春科幻小說開端。When seventeen-year-old Katy Swartz moved to West Virginia right before her senior year, she’d pretty much resigned herself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring, but then she spotted her hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up?until he opened his mouth. Daemon Black is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. It’s hate at first sight, but when a stranger attacks her and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something?unexpected happens. The hot guy next door? Well, he’s an alien. Turns out that Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies want
