Book Overview

Before the war, Eden's life was easy. Then the revolution happened, and everything changed.

Now a powerful group called the Wolfpack controls the earth and its resources. And even though Eden has lost everything to them, she refuses to die by their hands. She knows the coordinates to the only neutral ground left in the world, a place called Sanctuary Island, and she is desperate to escape to its shores.

Eden finally reaches the island and meets others resistant to the Wolves. But the solace is short-lived when one of Eden's new friends goes missing. Braving the jungle in search of their lost ally, they quickly discover Sanctuary is filled with lethal traps and an enemy they never expected.

This island might be deadlier than the world Eden left behind, but surviving it is the only thing that stands between her and freedom.


Escape was just the beginning. Surviving Sanctuary Island is the real test.


  • YA Survival Story: Eden escaped the Wolfpack, but Sanctuary Island has its own lethal traps and a mysterious enemy waiting in the jungle.
  • Found Family: Forced to rely on a ragtag group of fellow escapees, Eden must learn to trust again when betrayal could mean death.
  • Action and Adventure: When a new friend goes missing, the search reveals that the island is far from a safe haven, turning their desperate escape into a deadly mission.
  • Enemies to Allies: From a ruthless Wolfpack defector to a mysterious group of island inhabitants, Eden doesn't know who to trust--but she can't survive alone.
