EVE:
Eve by Anna Carey
Eve by Anna Carey
Property Of The King!
She
was old enough too remember a time before the schools. A time when
people had their own homes, where men and women, boys and girls lived
together in society. She was too young however to remember a time before
the plague, before fear, survival and death were the only constants.
But the one thing she would never forget was her mother, how much her
mother loved her and how much she loved her back.
She was
promised a future, after school she was promised a life of training, of
learning, before moving to the prosperous City Of Sand. But the shining
future she was promised was a lie, a fact she discovered only just in
time to save herself, but at the cost of her friends. Alone, beyond the
fences facing scavengers, wild animals and the Kings guards she sets out
for Califia, the only place that is curtain to be safe. But reaching
Califia will come at a great cost.
Eve may have
been valedictorian and a shining example to other girls at her school,
but she is still only a seventeen year old, naive to the way thing
really are and the true nature of men, women and the world around her.
As a society built on the labour of orphans, Eve, an orphan herself,
runs from a horrific future only to discover nowhere is safe for her
unless she is willing to leave behind those that she cares for. A new
dystopian series of survival, betrayal, sacrifice and love.
