The Caged and the Chosen

By M J Nesbit

In the shattered, war-torn land of Nightgate, nothing is as it seems. Families have been torn apart, their fates supposedly sealed by an unforgiving regime. Children are sent to labor in orphanages, women are brainwashed into working endlessly at factories, and men are turned into savage, unrecognizable soldiers. For thirteen-year-old Clementine, the nightmare is only just beginning. After her family is torn from her, she is determined to uncover the truth behind the brutal government. But nothing about her journey is conventional. Each step feels too easy, each obstacle too simple to overcome. As Clementine gets closer to the heart of the regime, she begins to question everything she knows and everyone she trusts. With enemies closing in and a growing sense that the truth is far darker than she ever imagined, Clementine must decide whether she can escape her past, or if it will trap her forever.
