In this enthralling dystopian YA thriller where emotions become weapons, the fight for humanity's true essence takes centre stage.
In a near-future Britain, society's calm facade conceals a sinister truth: the state maintains its control by meddling with the nation's water supply. The result? A population lulled into apathy. Lulled, apart from a courageous few known as the Resistors.
New Resistor Owyn and lifelong Resistor Tiegan face parallel struggles in their fi erce quest for freedom. Spurred on by the promise of a mass Resistance, they ignite a chain of events that shakes the foundations of Britain's oppressive regime.
One thing is clear: the price of freedom is higher than they ever imagined.
S. J. Baker teaches English in a secondary school in Hull, where she does her best to pass on her own love for reading and writing to her students. Books have always loomed large in Ms. Baker's life, so it was perhaps inevitable that after completing a degree in English Literature at Cambridge she should train as a teacher and spend her career sharing her love of story-telling with young people. Reading aloud to her own children as they grew up confirmed her in the belief that we learn much about life and how to live well from the books that we read. She lives in East Yorkshire with her husband and two exuberant black Labradors.
