All he wanted was to escape the walls of his life. Too bad he ended up in a place worse than death.

In a world where technology has crashed and a ruthless dictator rules the Federated Republic of America with an iron fist, eighteen-year-old Marcos finds himself trapped within the impenetrable walls of Queenstown. Despite his attempts to escape, he is “disappeared” into a secret labor camp, with his controlling father’s approval.

But Marcos never expected to find a vibrant and diverse rebel movement, the Underground, within the confines of the labor camp. Fueled by his anger and a desire for freedom, Marcos joins forces with his new found family to take action against the oppressive regime and free the labor camp. However, their rebellion could come with a high price.

The Supreme Commander will stop at nothing to maintain control over his citizens, even if it means crushing uprisings and those daring enough to lead them.

As Marcos and his friends risk everything for their freedom, they face the harsh reality that the Supreme Commander will not go down without a fight. Will their determination be enough to defeat the tyrant and free the labor camp or will they fall victim to his ruthless tactics?

If you enjoyed young adult dystopian classics like The Hunger Games, you’ll love the heart-pounding action and diverse cast in Divided, Book One in the Divided Series.
