Repression Ground
Indoctrinated. Unnamed. Sealed behind the barriers under the shadow of a desperate secret.
Decades after the great plague that took out most of the population of Britain, the New Day Party rule Newland with an iron fist. Kids are raised by the state in training houses, and people judged on their usefulness to the state on an X-factor style game show.
Girl C has never known another way. She can’t wait for her Productivity Ceremony on her seventeenth birthday where, at last, she will be assigned a name of her own. 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? What really happened in the Before?
But asking questions – and awakening to the reality of a repressive world full of secrets and shadows – turns out to be treachery against the state. Thrown into the Compound jail, she finds herself in grave danger and, together with Girl P and Boy T, she must find a way out before it’s too late. Can she escape the all-powerful Party forces, discover her identity, and survive her harsh new world?

Rebellion Ground
Wanted for treason. Pursued by the Party. But their secret cannot stay hidden.
Stranded on the Outside, Carys, Jacob and Amy remain under an arrest and execution order. Lost amidst the ruins of an ancient city from the Before, they know they must hurry to escape their pursuers and tell the nation a secret that has been buried too long, but where will they run to and who will listen?
Resistance movements are growing in Outsiders camps, but they have no way of communicating with one another and no way of challenging the system. The Commander’s power is stronger than ever, and when the three fugitives end up in the Centre Compound they find themselves political pawns, asked to deny all they believe in. Will they become part of the regime, or will they find the strength to rebel?
A rollercoaster ride of danger lies ahead, and only they can decide between truth and comfort.

Redemption Ground
An awakening nation. A deadly appointment. A race against time.
As rumblings increase throughout Newland, Carys, Amy and Jacob find themselves prisoners of the regime in different ways.

Meanwhile, scattered Resistance and Outsider groups are coming together to seek justice after decades of oppression. In a frenzied countdown, the Resistance and the young people are caught up in an increasingly dangerous series of events. Can they really challenge the all-powerful New Day Party to bring justice and healing to a broken nation? And can they keep their own integrity in the process?
In the fast-paced final part of the Newland Trilogy, dive back into a world where equality and justice have been laid aside for power and greed, and journey with tenacious characters who are not afraid to stand up and fight — even in their darkest days.
