Dark and Light: The Island

There are a few rules in Laurel's world: don't talk about the Unspeakables, don't criticise the LEO and don't commit a crime, because you'll get sent to the Island. And most people who end up there don't come back.

The year is 2098 and the British government and monarchy has fallen. In its place stands twelve of the most influential families in Britain and the Law Enforcement Organisation, which has replaced the Police. The rich people are very rich, while the poor live in the Slums. Every year, the families that aren't wealthy or powerful enough to buy their way out of them take the Trials, a series of tests which gauge a person's physical and mental fitness. If you're fit, you carry on working, whereas if you're not, you're sent to the Group Home. And if you break the law, you get arrested and sent to the Island, a man-made island off of England's east coast made especially for the Unspeakables.

On her 18th birthday, Laurel Hayes attempts to steal £10million from the second most powerful family in the Commonwealth and gets caught. After being sent to the Island, she discovers that it's not just a prison that she's living in. What will she do when she discovers that the Unspeakables are human testers for whatever the world thinks up?
