Eighteen-year-old Lydia Brone never imagined she'd be convicted of first-degree murder.
"It's like Orange is the New Black meets The Hunger Games." - Amazon Review
But when her mom's drunken boyfriend becomes abusive, she does what any protective daughter would do-she gets involved.
Killing him wasn't part of her plan.
Now, with handcuffs around her small wrists, Lydia stares out through the helicopter's window as Kormace Island-the Island of Killers-comes into view. She's read about the penal island online... she just never thought she'd be sentenced to serve three years on it.
Learning to build a fire? She can do that. Learning to hunt? She'll figure it out. But how can anyone survive on an island full of convicted murderers? That's a death sentence. If Lydia hopes to ever return home, she'll have to forget who she is and become someone else... someone capable of choosing survival over humanity.
