Eliza is the middle of three royal children in a barren England during
the year 2090. After her parents, the
king and queen, have been killed by Cornelius Holister, Holister starts a
revolution to overtake the government.
He succeeds in kidnapping Eliza’s sister and brother, but Eliza escapes
through the grace of a soldier named Wesley.
After starving on the streets, Eliza joins Holister’s army in the attempt
to find food, shelter and her siblings, but what she finds there sets her on a
course to save her country.
This is a
fast paced, action packed story where I found myself hoping that the heroine
would win. The content of the book is
clean enough for a middle school with the violence being mostly war
violence. This book can stand on its own
with a satisfying enough ending, but there is going to be another book which
I’m excited to read.
