When Children Roam Free

By Gillian Rose

Escaping her prison almost killed her. Not going back surely will.

Raised in the Population Initiative Terminal alongside those who will one day repopulate the Earth, Lenali Canahan suspects something wicked lurks beneath the benevolent surface of the sanctuary city. Tired of rotting in the trenches of a perfect society, Lenali is willing to die to uncover its secrets and prove her worth. Until those secrets lead her to a place where there are things worse than death.

Outside.

Abandoned beyond the PIT's walls, Lenali is captured by Ra Westerlund, a foul-mouthed, scarred, half-giant seeking vengeance on all those Inside. Trapped in a wild land where maiming the children saves their lives, Lenali must agree to help Ra unite the tribes of Mer, Avians, and bio-humans to end the atrocities the PIT has unleashed. Success will bring peace forever, but to get there, Lenali will have to defeat the ultimate evil.

An evil that runs through her veins as well.

When Children Roam Free is a full-length, adult dystopian dark fantasy. Perfect for readers who enjoy a dystopian/post-apocalyptic setting with found family, enemies to lovers, and a dash of sci-fi and horror.
