Prisoner

"raising the stakes in all the right ways"

"believable and unsettling"

"sets the stage for a dramatic finale"

Vale Adamson is trapped by the leadership of the PS, detained in an outdoor prison for unacceptable and unwanted men on the outskirts of the so-called Peaceful Society. In West Virginia, his father is still planning to attack Greater Maryland. Vale is determined to escape, but not before he learns the truth about his mom.

Amity Bloome faces rigorous training at the Institute, where her mother insists she stay to become a Community Officer. But Amity is not the same person she was, and the PS is changing as well. Expecting to be trained in de-escalation and non-violence, Ami realizes she's being honed as a weapon, along with all of the women at the Institute.

Something big is coming. Can Amity and Vale reunite in time to stop it?
