In a post-apocalyptic world devastated by the 3rd World War, a resilient young woman fights for survival in a grim colony marked by scarcity of essentials. As high-tech surveillance and militarized patrols tighten their grip, she uncovers dark truths about authority figures' abuse of power. Joining an underground rebellion, she confronts the government's control over media and a mysterious, pervasive disease. The unsettling rumors of cannibalism as a desperate resort for the exiled add a chilling layer to her journey, weaving an eerie and suspenseful tale of resilience, rebellion, and the haunting secrets that lurk beneath the surface of a shattered society.
"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know.
The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before."
When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die.
The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so.
Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson.
In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.
