Description

Isla is kidnapped from a train platform in broad daylight, and thrust into a nightmare when she is sold to a sadistic aristocrat. Locked in a dungeon with a dozen other girls, her only comfort is a locket and the memory of the boy she loves. But as the days pass and more girls disappear, she realizes that help is not coming, and if they're going to survive, they'll have to escape on their own.

Praise from the Swoon Reads community:

This is a story that will give you chills and keep you turning pages until the very end. I know it did that for me. The world needs more books like this one. --Samantha Chaffin, reader on SwoonReads.com

Through this experience, these girls--especially Isla--grow and become stronger . . . despite never thinking they could be anything but weak. Girls can be smart, strong, and badass. --Chen Yan Chang, reader on SwoonReads.com

So many times while reading this book I read the same sentences over and again because I loved the word choices and the imagery they crafted. Beautifully and thoughtfully written, suspenseful, engaging, and wonderfully substantive. --Suellen Foreman, reader on SwoonReads.com
