Book Trailer: The Forsaken
As an obedient orphan of the U.N.A. (the super-country that was once Mexico, the U.S., and Canada), Alenna learned at an early age to blend in and be quiet—having your parents taken by the police will do that to a girl. But Alenna can’t help but stand out when she fails a test that all sixteen-year-olds have to take: The test says she has a high capacity for brutal violence, and so she is sent to The Wheel, an island where all would-be criminals end up.
The life expectancy of prisoners on The Wheel is just two years, but with dirty, violent, and chaotic conditions, the time seems a lot longer as Alenna is forced to deal with civil wars for land ownership and machines that snatch kids out of their makeshift homes. Desperate, she and the other prisoners concoct a potentially fatal plan to flee the island. Survival may seem impossible, but Alenna is determined to achieve it anyway.”

@Isabelle, right! I can’t wait to read this book.
I have to admit the cover does not grab me, but the blurb and the vid did!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, this is one of my must-have releases of the year, even before the trailer. After the trailer? MUST.HAVE.THIS.BOOK! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
SO excited for this book! I’m already rooting for Alenna and everyone else on The Wheel, and I need to know what happens to them immediately. Love the trailer too!
I really enjoyed the trailer! I just started this book and Lisa M Stasse stopped by today for an interview which made me even more excited!!
