β¦ Synopsis
There are monsters who act like people. And there are people who act like monsters. On a remote island in Alaska, Malcolm is part of Project Isolation, where he must reflect on the crime that cost him the only thing he ever loved. He spends his days and nights alone, with his thoughts and his artβdrawing the woman he lost. But his isolation comes to a strange and abrupt halt when a miniature winged woman with pink hair and striking blue eyes comes literally crashing through his cell and his life. Is Verity Nine a fairy? A sophisticated spy drone? Sheβs says sheβs a human, and she just might be the answer to the pardon heβs so desperately wanted. But at what cost? The closer Malcolm gets to Verity, the less he sees a fantastical creature or a robotβwhat he sees is a woman for whom he might be willing to sacrifice it all. Cruel and Unusual is a YA dystopian novel that forces readers to ask if the human mind can truly cope with loneliness. Author C.E. Wilson has watched every episode of The Twilight Zone and it shows in her writing.
