Indoctrinated. Unnamed. Sealed behind the barriers under the shadow of a desperate secret.
Decades after the great plague that took out most of the population of Britain, the New Day Party rule Newland with an iron fist. Kids are raised by the state in training houses, and people judged on their usefulness to the state on an X-factor style game show.
Girl C has never known another way. She can't wait for her Productivity Ceremony on her seventeenth birthday where, at last, she will be assigned a name of her own. She's certain of one thing: the Party only wants good for all its citizens.
But when her only two friends - one hated, one illegal - challenge the narrative, the questions won't stop. Who is she? Why is she defective? What really happened in the Before?
But asking questions - and awakening to the reality of a repressive world full of secrets and shadows - turns out to be treachery against the state. Thrown into the Compound jail, she finds herself in grave danger and, together with Girl P and Boy T, she must find a way out before it's too late. Can she escape the all-powerful Party forces, discover her identity, and survive her harsh new world?
Repression Ground is the first book of the Newland Trilogy. Rebellion Ground and Redemption Ground are available to buy now.
