City of Savages

After the Red Allies turn New York City into a POW camp, two sisters must decipher the past in order to protect the future in this action-packed thriller with a dual narrative.

It€s been nearly two decades since the Red Allies first attacked New York, and Manhattan is now a prisoner-of-war camp, ruled by Rolladin and her brutal, impulsive warlords. For Skyler Miller, Manhattan is a cage that keeps her from the world beyond the city€s borders. But for Sky€s younger sister, Phee, the POW camp is a dangerous playground of possibility, and the only home she€d ever want.

When Sky and Phee discover their mom€s hidden journal from the war€s outbreak, they both realize there€s more to Manhattan€"and their mother€"than either of them had ever imagined. And after a group of strangers arrives at the annual POW census, the girls begin to uncover the island€s long-kept secrets. The strangers hail from England, a country supposedly destroyed by the Red Allies, and Rolladin€s lies about Manhattan€s captivity begin to unravel.

Hungry for the truth, the sisters set a series of events in motion that end in the death of one of Rolladin€s guards. Now they€re outlaws, forced to join the strange Englishmen on an escape mission through Manhattan. Their flight takes them into subways haunted by cannibals, into the arms of a sadistic cult in the city€s Meatpacking District and, through the pages of their mom€s old journal, into the island€s dark and shocking past.
