The Forsaken
The Forsaken

Dystopian struggle for survival against brutal systems.

If the bleak allure of dystopian narratives fascinates you, "The Forsaken" won't disappoint. It masterfully blends the fear of being wrongfully condemned with a gripping survival saga. The intensity of Alenna's journey into The Wheel's treacherous lands will resonate if you're drawn to stories where characters must rise above their harsh realities, and fight not just to live but to preserve their humanity against all odds.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

As an obedient orphan of the U.N.A. (the super-country that was once Mexico, the U.S., and Canada), Alenna learned at an early age to blend in and be quiet—having your parents taken by the police will do that to a girl. But Alenna can’t help but stand out when she fails a test that all sixteen-year-olds have to take: The test says she has a high capacity for brutal violence, and so she is sent to The Wheel, an island where all would-be criminals end up. The life expectancy of prisoners on The Wheel is just two years, but with dirty, violent, and chaotic conditions, the time seems a lot longer as Alenna is forced to deal with civil wars for land ownership and machines that snatch kids out of their makeshift homes. Desperate, she and the other prisoners concoct a potentially fatal plan to flee the island. Survival may seem impossible, but Alenna is determined to achieve it anyway.
