    The Wall: The Island, #1

    'I walk toward the sea. The endless surface of the water extends to the horizon, whichever way I look. Our world is small. We're on our own, and we only have ourselves to depend on. We rely on the Force deep within us as taught to us by our forefathers.  If I were to walk westward from here, I'd come across a barrier - the Wall. Behind it, there are Fools. At least, that's what everyone says. I've never seen one.' Leia lives on an island where children leave their parents to take care of themselves when they're just ten years old. Across the island runs a Wall that no one has ever crossed. The Fools living behind it should be shunned because they believe in salvation from across the sea. That's what The Book says, the only thing left to the Eastern Islanders by their ancestors.  But when a strange man washes ashore and Leia meets a Fool face to face, her life will never be the same again. Walt, the boy from the other side of the Wall, isn't as foolish as she was always led to believe. And as Leia and Walt set out to bring the truth about both their societies to light, all the things they once took for granted fall by the wayside. Their island world is about to change... for better or for worse.   This is a series starter - the follow-up books are also available (The Deep, Beyond the Fence, Across the Sea).

    ‘The world is never-ending. I never realized just how much space there is – how far and wide the water around our island stretches out. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I may have believed that a second Wall ran around Tresco, containing the infinite waters so we wouldn’t all wash over the edge and plummet down into the depths.’ Leia and Walt are on their way to the Other Side, where the legendary land of Cornwall awaits them. Tony, their new friend, has told them that all wars of the past have been forgotten and the citizens of Bodmin and Dartmoor live in peace. People adhere to the tenets of an old religion that preaches forgiveness and non-violence. However, Walt and Leia soon discover that even a peace-loving, ideal society like this one may have its flaws. While on a forbidden trip to Exeter, the old city of their ancestors, the two Islanders discover more about the new world than they ever bargained for. Secrets run dark and passions run deep in this thrilling conclusion to the Island novella series.
