From the Inside Flap:
Two young people are forced to make a stand in this thought-provoking look at racism and prejudice in an alternate society.
Sephy is a Cross -- a member of the dark-skinned ruling class. Callum is a Nought -- a "colourless" member of the underclass who were once slaves to the Crosses. The two have been friends since early childhood, but that's as far as it can go. In their world, Noughts and Crosses simply don't mix. Against a background of prejudice and distrust, intensely highlighted by violent terrorist activity, a romance builds between Sephy and Callum -- a romance that is to lead both of them into terrible danger. Can they possibly find a way to be together?
In this gripping, stimulating and totally absorbing novel, black and white are right and wrong.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Two star-crossed lovers fight for a more just world in this searing novel with a critically-acclaimed BBC series adaptation now streaming on NBCUniversal's Peacock platform! Sephy is a Cross: dark-skinned and beautiful, she lives a life of privilege and power. But she's lonely, and she burns with injustice at the world she sees around her. Callum is a nought: pale-skinned and poor, he's considered to be less than nothing, there to serve Crosses, but he dreams of a better life. They've been friends since they were children, and they both know that's as far as it can ever go. Noughts and Crosses are fated to be bitter enemies--love is out of the question. Then--in spite of a world that is fiercely against them--these star-crossed lovers choose each other. But it comes at a price and as they prepare to protect themselves and their love, they realize that the cost will lead both of them into terrible danger.and will have shocking repercussions for generations to come. Previously titled "Naughts & Crosses," this modern-day "Romeo and Juliet" by UK sensation Blackman ("Hacker") is set in a world where black and white mean right and wrong--and life and death. Named as one of the BBCUs Big Read Top 100 Books of All Time. Reissue. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
