A cruel imprisonment. A pulse-pounding escape. And a shocking secret that changes everything.
Seventeen-year-old Rory O’Shannon is used to the bullies. She’s accustomed to hunger pangs. She’s even getting used to the nightmares that have tormented her ever since the New Government dragged her father away in the middle of the night.
But nothing can prepare Rory for what happens once she’s sent to a labor camp and tortured inside an underground prison. There she meets a mysterious and handsome boy who knows a secret about her. Together they make a harrowing escape. And that’s when Rory is forced to do unimaginable things to try to stay alive.
Soon she discovers the astonishing secret that everyone has been hiding from her. And then she finds out she possesses an amazing power that no one else has—a hidden power that the New Government is desperate to uncover.
Will Rory and her family survive being targeted by the deadly New Government?

As a MN citizen and a person who actually lives near Wadena, I find this book rather thrilling. To know a book takes place in a town or city near you just excites me. The book had a very interesting plot to it. I will definitely recommend this book to my friends.
Anna says
I have high hopes for the next book.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and it was hard having to stop. I cannot wait to continue Aurora’s story in the next book. When?!
Rebecca says
Thanks to all for your comments! I’m glad you enjoyed the book.
Anna — the second book opens back up between Wadena and New York Mills, and then they’ll even spend some time in New York Mills. 🙂
As for a release date… I don’t have an exact date yet, but I am writing the second book right now. Hoping to release it this fall!
