Book Description:
Selena Flood is a fighter of
preternatural talent. But not even her quick fists and nimble feet could save
her parents from the forces of New Canaan, the most ruthless and powerful of
the despotic kingdoms populating America-that-was.
Forced to flee the tyrannical
state with her younger brother Simon in tow, Selena is now the last chance for
peace in a continent on the verge of complete destruction.
In her pocket is a data stick,
the contents of which cost her parents their lives. Selena must now ensure it
reaches the Republic of California—a lone beacon of liberty shining across a
vast and barren wasteland—before it’s too late.
Between New Canaan and California
stretch the Middle Wastes: thousands of desolate miles home to murderers,
thieves, and a virulent strain of grass called yellow locust that has made
growing food all but impossible. So when Selena and Simon stagger into
Fallowfield, an oasis of prosperity amidst the poisoned plains, everything
seems too good to be true—including the warm welcome they receive from the
town’s leader, a peculiar man known only as The Mayor.
As Selena delves deeper into the
sinister secrets of this seemingly harmless refuge, she soon learns there is a
much darker side to Fallowfield and the man who runs it. Before long, she must
call upon the skills she honed in the fighting pits of New Canaan to ensure not
only her own survival, but that of her brother, in whom the Mayor has taken far
too keen an interest.
And she’d better act fast, for an
all-out war inches ever closer, and New Canaan is never as far away as it
seems.
