Seeing this vastly different future in the eyes of a naive sixteen-year-old I think only heightened the experience. All that in just the first chapter and I knew I was in for a fun ride. Birthmarked does this by having us meet young midwife Gaia Stone in the aftermath of helping a woman give birth, promptly marking that baby, then snatching that baby away, and handing said baby over to Enclave guards. A former high school English teacher, she now writes young adult novels full time from her home in rural Connecticut.Ĭustomers who bought this item also bought.I adore stories that just throw you into their setting without a care if you're ready to hop into the boiling pot or not.

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. She must lead the people of Sylum back to the Enclave and persuade the Protectorat to grant them refuge from the wasteland. After defying the ruthless Enclave, surviving the wasteland, and upending the rigid matriarchy of Sylum, Gaia Stone now faces her biggest challenge ever. 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.
