"Fear is normal, Indra, it is what you do with that fear that determines if you are strong or weak."

In the dusty ruins of the world, three groups exist: the Sovereign, the Fortis, and the Outliers.

Indra is an Outlier. Living on land that has not healed from the poison of the past, the Outliers have adapted - but to the Sovereign and the Fortis, they are nothing. For centuries the Fortis have made their abuse of Outliers a sport, but when Asa comes to Indra's rescue, she sees something different in him. Something that marks him as so much more than just a Fortis guard.

But when Indra's world begins to unravel, even the quiet alliance she and Asa have formed cannot save her from the wrath of the Sovereign. In one life-altering moment, everything Indra has ever known is ripped away, forcing her to face a world even more harsh and unforgiving. Broken and scarred, Indra finds herself on a journey that will challenge everything she's ever been taught, learning along the way that she's stronger than she ever imagined. Maybe even strong enough to free her people forever.

love it!!!

I loved this book so much!!! I can't wait to hear the rest of the series!!!

Excellent!

What a fantastic story! Total roller coaster ride that kept my attention The whole way through. The narration was excellent as well. She did a fantastic job with conveying the emotion of the world they lived in. This is the first installment in a series, and I tell ya I can't wait to start the next one. I feel like I. ant give a lot of details about the story without giving stuff away, but I will say this book is worth your time!!!! Also, there are a few things that might maybe trigger some people, but there are no real details in anything that could be deemed 'graphic' in any way. Kate handles those scenes very well. I read ALOT and she managed to impress me with how seamlessly she blended everything together. Buy the book. You absolutely won't be sorry.

HEART BREAKING AND AMAZING!!

Indra is so strong and amazing...this was a great story! I went into this one blind, I just knew I loved this author and this was a dystopic society...and I really feel this is so much more now! This was a heartbreaking tale of a society gone very wrong!! Indra works as a housemaid and is treated so poorly, but it is the only way she can take care of her family...She is proud and strong, and very smart...they take something so precious from her and she can't let it lie...she fights back...and I think she is going to fight a whole lot more! She is going to be a force to be reckoned with and I can't wait to listen to book 2!! I actually really enjoyed this narrator as this character also...I think she nailed it, just enough of an accent to pull it off, and enough emotion to portray Indra perfectly!

I RECOMMEND!!

no spoilers

I received this book for free for a honest review. the characters and storyline were well written and held together. the narrator did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life. edge of your seat story. reccomend

So Good!

I was given this book for free in exch for an honest review. I loved this story about a strong woman in the face of oppression. The world created by the author was so vivid thet I could picture it in my mind. Can't wait for the next book.

Great story

I was not sure if this story was something I would like but I thought I will give it a chance. I was not disappointed. The story is well written and the "world" it happens in and the characters are very well created. It's obvious that the author put a lot of thought and work into this book.
The narrator is very good and gives the story deeper meaning.
I really hope this is not a future we will see at any time.
I don't normally give five stars to books but this one deserves it.

A very interesting read!

This book is told from a female perspective with a fantastic world built around the characters. From the different tribes and the animals, to the unknown world that is in the distance, this book has definitely got me hooked and I will be reading the rest of the series.

If you like a post-apocalyptic survival novel, I highly recommend this book. I think it develops the main character quite well, while also building a very interesting world.

Loving it

Im enjoying reading this series and imaging this world. I finished this book in 1 day. I couldn't put it down.

A wonderful series

It is a different style of audiobook I usually listen to and was surprised that I am going to be buying the rest of the series!

WOW!!! Great book!!!

From beginning to end, I was memorized by the story as well as the narrator. For me, this was one of the books that you sneak a listen to even when others are talking because you want to see how it ends!!! LOVED IT and can't wait for the next in the series!!

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
