Choose a tribe. Watch your back. And donโt stop running.
Filled with thrilling adventure and romance,The Forsakenis praised by EntertainmentWeekly.com asโa fast-paced novel [that] youโll get sucked into. You just canโt seem to put [it] down.โ
As an obedient orphan of the U.N.A. (the super-country that was once Mexico, the US, and Canada), Alenna learned at an early age to blend in and be quietโhaving your parents taken by the police will do that to a girl. But Alenna canโt help standing out when she fails a test that all sixteen-year-olds have to take: The test says she has a high capacity for brutal violence, and so she is sent to the wheel, an island where all would-be criminals end up.
The life expectancy of prisoners on the wheel is just two years, but with dirty, violent, and chaotic conditions, the time seems a lot longer as Alenna is forced to deal with civil wars for land ownership and machines that snatch kids out of their makeshift homes. Desperate, she and a charismatic warrior named Liam concoct a potentially fatal plan to flee the island. Survival may seem impossible, but Alenna is determined to achieve it anyway.
