About this ebook
The outlivers own everything – and everyone
Medical advances have brought extended long life – but only for the privileged, elderly elite. The outlivers, hundreds of years old, hoard their wealth and cling to power, refusing to die. The old live in luxury, the young are slaves and London festers, a stagnant city ringed with fences and choked by surveillance.
When martial arts prodigy Theia McKai is selected as a ‘companion’ for 200-year-old Rupert Geryon, minister for security, her every instinct is to run, resist, refuse. Hypnotised, tortured and beaten, she faces a stark choice: submit to the desires of a monstrous old man – or fight back and endanger everyone she loves.
Seventeen, defiant, deadly – an irresistible force in a stagnant world where the old have enslaved the young
Will Theia risk all for revenge, or to expose the truth about her world? Will she welcome back the boy she loved, despite his betrayal? Can she punch her way to freedom? Or learn to stop fighting, and embrace mercy?
Before she can save her friends or free her people or change her world, first Theia must face her greatest battle: she must change herself.
Set in a dystopian near-future, ‘Outlivers’ is an adventure thriller for adults and young-adults alike.
