Carabel Caffarelli was an ordinary sixteen-year-old from North London—until The Colonists arrived. Stunningly beautiful yet terrifyingly cruel, They wiped out the adults and most boys, enslaving the surviving girls as livestock.
Now, a year later, Carabel is a “pet,” caged and controlled by her teenage Colonist owner, Aggie. Though torn from her family and friends, and haunted by unspeakable horrors, she refuses to give in.
The Colonists think they’ve crushed humanity, but Carabel isn’t done fighting. Armed with defiance and hope, she vows to escape and lead a rebellion that will remind Them what it truly means to be human.
The Colonists may have taken everything—but they’ve underestimated Carabel. And she’s about to make them regret it.
