The Registry saved the
country from collapse. But stability has come at a price. In this
patriotic new America, girls are raised to be brides, sold at auction to the highest bidder. Boys are raised to be soldiers, trained by the
state to fight to their death.
Nearly eighteen, beautiful Mia
Morrissey excitedly awaits the beginning of her auction year. But a
warning from her married older sister raises dangerous thoughts. Now,
instead of going up on the block, Mia is going to escape to Mexico — and
the promise of freedom.
All Mia wants is to control her own
destiny — a brave and daring choice that will transform her into an enemy
of the state, pursued by powerful government agents, ruthless bounty
hunters, and a cunning man determined to own her... a man who will
stop at nothing to get her back.
