WAR IS COMING, A WAR THAT COULD MEAN THE END OF THE REPUBLIC. BUT HOW CAN YOU DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT WHEN YOU’RE A CAPTIVE, SLAVING IN THE GUTS OF A BRUTAL PATROL SHIP?

Clara Perdue isn’t sure why she took Jack Pike’s place at the slave market. She isn’t sure why she saved another girl and volunteered for the Scorpion, a Coastforce ship that plies the Channel, murdering refugees and raiding the villages along the coast. But when she meets Xavi, another slave, she feels emotions she’s never felt before.

Meanwhile, Jack Pike has taken Clara’s parents to safety, and as he tries to track her down he finds an unexpected ally. But how can they find Clara?

Can Clara escape somehow? And, even if she can, how can she stop the war?

‘For lovers of 1984 and The Handmaid’s Tale, with heaps of action, sacrifice and love against the highest of odds, this is a series that you need to read.’ – thepennotthesword
