Publisher's Synopsis
'A triumph in dystopian teen fiction.' L.G. Jenkins, Author of the Merit-Hunters Series
An indoctrinated girl. An unquestioned ideology. An explosive secret.
But all she wants is a name.
Girl C has been waiting all her life. Waiting to stop being the odd one out. Waiting to go to Ashton Training House. Waiting for her Productivity Ceremony where, at last, she will be assigned a name of her own.
Living in a post-plague world, she's certain of one thing: the Party only wants good for all its citizens. But when her only two friends - one hated, one illegal - challenge the narrative, the questions won't stop. Who is she? Why is she defective? Why is she forbidden to visit her parents? And what really happens to the losers on the sinister state game show? Everything turned upside down, she is plunged into an uncertain world full of secrets and shadows and must find a way out. Can she escape her brainwashing, discover her identity and survive her harsh new world?
Repression Ground is the first book of the Newland Trilogy, set in a future version of England. The second and third books, Rebellion Ground and Redemption Ground, will be released in 2024.
