Cette trilogie glaçante pour jeunes adultes plonge les lecteurs dans un monde post-changement climatique, strictement divisé entre ceux qui vivent à l'intérieur d'une Enclave protégée et ceux qui vivent à l'extérieur. Notre héroïne, une jeune sage-femme, répond aux demandes brutales de l'Enclave jusqu'à ce que sa propre mère soit emmenée de force. Cette trahison la pousse à remettre en question tout ce qu'elle sait et à entreprendre une quête périlleuse pour la vérité et la survie. C'est une aventure captivante mettant en scène une protagoniste mémorable qui vous tiendra en haleine jusqu'à sa conclusion dramatique.
In the future, there are those who live inside the walled Enclave and those, like 16-year-old Gaia Stone, who live outside. Gaia delivers babies, then hands a quota over to be 'advanced' into the privileged society of the Enclave. She has always believed this is her duty, until the night her mother and father are arrested.
Sixteen-year-old midwife Gaia Stone is in the wasteland with nothing but her baby sister, a handful of supplies, and a rumor to guide her when she is captured by the people of Sylum, a dystopian society where she must follow a strict social code or never see her sister again.
Caragh M. O'Brien's Promised is the conclusion to the thrilling YA dystopian adventure Birthmarked Trilogy, where the world is divided between those who live inside the wall and those who live outside. After defying the ruthless Enclave, surviving the wasteland, and upending the rigid matriarchy of Sylum, Gaia Stone now faces her biggest challenge ever. She must lead the people of Sylum back to the Enclave and persuade the Protectorat to grant them refuge from the wasteland. In Gaia's absence, the Enclave has grown more cruel, more desperate to experiment on mothers from outside the wall, and now the stakes of cooperating or rebelling have never been higher. Is Gaia ready, as a leader, to sacrifice what—or whom—she loves most?
