COLLEEN NELLIGAN
Fans of The Red Queen and Graceling will discover a tough world of rebellion and punishment without the magic. A world where ordinary people commit acts of betrayal and horror while others stand in the face of ruin and fight.
THE PREACHER'S BOY
Rionia is a country divided.
RedRiver, the capital in the North, exists to serve the South and has done so since the last revolution was viciously quelled.
Tired of being worked to death many are keen to rekindle a rebellion. None more so than 17-year-old Mack Kennedy son of the city's most famous rebel, The Preacher.
But it is not until Adam Keenan arrives in the city that Mack finds a spark for his cause. A volatile spark that even The Party are wary of. Secrecy and rumour surround Adam who has already been sentenced to die.
Accepted into Mack's Preacher's Boys Adam finds friendship and acceptance. Outside he finds Summer Govern and a whole world where he has freedom he never imagined.
Until, that is, he discovers The Party's latest cruel crackdown will target the people he has come to know and trust.
Suddenly there is danger around every corner, traitors in the heart of The Preacher's Boys, and a fight that can only have one outcome, REVOLUTION.
