The third book in the award-winning, best-selling dystopian series.
They've escaped the Breeders.
They've broken out of the Citadel.
Now, after all they've been through, Riley, Clay, and Ethan know one thing for sure: nothing tastes sweeter than freedom. And no one can rest easy with Auntie Bell in bondage. The group journeys home to rescue her and liberate Clay's town from the cruel Warden. But when an ally betrays them, they must face the very enemy they've been trying to avoid.
Captured and separated, Riley is sold to a slave-owner who uses human beings for sport, while Clay and Ethan become the latest in a series of lab rats to be poked and prodded. As a slave, Riley conceals her identity to survive among the other benders, but it's only a matter of time before a dangerous job takes her life. Clay and Ethan find themselves a war zone between a madwoman and marauders. And the odds don't look good.

Review
"Thrilling, chilling, and creepy in all the right ways, The Benders will more than satiate French's fans!" --S.K. Falls, bestselling dystopian author of World of Shell and Bone
"A full throttle race to the finish, The Benders is electrifying. The third book in The Breeders Series only made me hungrier for the next." --Kimberly Shursen, author of thrillers HUSH, Lottery and Itsy Bitsy Spider
"Once again, the characters you know and love are in peril. Don't pick up The Benders if you have an appointment to make or a train to catch." --Amy R. Biddle, author of The Atheist's Prayer
From the Author
