Cienna Strider has spent her whole life killing. At age 17, she's a seasoned killer who knows how to survive on her own in the wild.
Danik is a thief who grew up on the streets. He may know a thing or two about picking pockets, but when it comes to killing, he will be in trouble.
When Cienna is finally captured by the soldiers and brought before the King of Apolyn, she believes that she has been brought to her death. But in reality, she is about to be given a second chance. Instead of being killed, Cienna and her fellow prisoners are banished to a remote island where there are no laws, no soldiers, and no friends. As enemies are made and fragile alliances are tested, Cienna learns that on an island full of killers, the only person you can trust is yourself.

The Island
"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.
