Inspiring YA Science Fiction
I write now so that we never forget the darkness of which humans are capable, to humble us to power’s influence, and to inspire everyone to prevent the future affliction of any and every human being. Our work is not done. - Araminta Bradford 8 in The Outpost War
From Grey by Lisa Arcona
FROM GREY is an award winning debut novel by Lisa Arcona.
Aminta Bradford 8 has never doubted her own place and purpose in Society. As an 8 – a direct descendant of the first settlers on the Outpost planet of Attis – Minty has a responsibility to one day take her place in the Advocacy and legislate the laws which rule her planet.
But the bounds of her solitary life are shattered when she befriends an Earthen girl and her fugitive brother, and she begins to question the truths she once knew as irrefutable. After all, everyone knows that the uncivilized Earthens are only good for mining, harvesting, and otherwise serving their Attisian Taskers. As Minty risks everything to shelter them against the Laws which she swore to uphold, she must ask herself how far she is willing to go and what she is willing to do with the life she has inherited.
Is Minty willing to risk everything she's ever known in order to help two Earthens?
LEGEND meets RED RISING in this historically-inspired adventure of compassion, self-discovery, and sacrifice by award-winning author, Lisa Arcona.
