To Unleash a Darker Fate

Brought to you by Penguin.

The electrifying new dystopian romance and sequel to the thrilling Sunday Times bestseller, To Cage a Wild Bird.

After doing the impossible and escaping Endlock Prison, Raven and her fellow survivors embark on a treacherous journey across the Wastes, aching with the absence of those they have left behind. To get the people she loves to the safety of the North Settlement, Raven must contend with dwindling resources and poisonous snakes.

They are pursued across the desert by a hunting caravan sent from Dividium to kill them. As the hunters close in, Raven is shocked to find a familiar face among them, allowing them to make a desperate escape.

When all seems lost, the Collective offers Raven and her friends refuge in exchange for joining their fight against Dividium’s tyranny.

The highly secretive Collective constantly tests Raven’s loyalty, forcing her to question everything. Who does she owe her loyalty to, her friends or the Collective? The ex-prison guard or the fledging revolutionary?
