The Stranded

By Sarah Daniels

Book Overview

A floating prison. A fractured society. Two teens caught between obedience and revolution.

Once a gleaming cruise liner, the Arcadia now drifts off the coast of a fractured United States--its passengers trapped for decades, forbidden from ever stepping on land. Inside its rusting walls: a harsh regime, brutal class divides, and a population clinging to hope or plotting rebellion.

Esther knows the only escape is to follow the rules. As a medic-in-training, she dreams of earning one of the rare passes to the mainland. Nik knows the only way out is to fight. A rebel raised in the ship's depths, he's ready to risk everything to change the system.

When their lives collide, a dangerous secret surfaces--one that could ignite the uprising the Arcadia has feared for years.

The Stranded is a gripping young adult dystopian thriller packed with high-stakes action, forbidden alliances, and the fight for freedom in one of the most claustrophobic worlds imaginable. Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, Snowpiercer, and Divergent.
