    The Palladia Trilogy Series

    By Sarah Scheele

    About this series

    My name is Arielle. I'm the one who doesn't like people who can't fit in. 
     
    Even when I'm one of them. In Dorilantz the conflict between the EC and Invaders isn't a circular rigmarole between similar factions. It's war. War on my village and my family, in particular. Which turns into a war on me.

    You think I'm being angsty, don't you? It can't be that bad, you say. I'm exaggerating. But after a masked leader of the Invaders kidnaps you and forces you into a ritual of being shamed and mocked and yelled at over nothing, it's hard not to draw your own conclusions. He's out to get me. And he sure likes to tell me what to do.

    He's terrifying. Everyone is so afraid of him they can barely speak in his presence. He carries a big heavy metal stick, and he'll hit you on the head with it too. And he used to be EC, it seems. When two girls from Palladia, named Katia and Consuela, came to help me, I learned the danger from The Man isn't that he wants to hurt me. It's that I could so easily become just like him. The line between EC and Invader was always murky—and it has never been thinner than now.

      My name is Katia. I'm the one who doesn't fit in. It's 2335 and people on Earth have been fighting in two clans for centuries. We've got colonies all over the solar system now—you know, those cities on Mars people have been planning to build like forever? I wish I had been born out there because they have no fighting between two groups that are essentially identical and won't admit it. True, EC can read and don't handle technology, and for the Invaders it's the opposite. But that's just a cosmetic difference over two sides who are similar in every other way. If you say that, though, you'll get in big trouble. I don't live in one of those outer-space colonies. I live on Earth. And in the portion of Earth where I live, the former imperial regions, everybody is EC or Invader. Except me. Did you notice I haven't told you which one I belong to? That's right. Because I belong to both of them. And that means I really belong to neither. I'm the "weird kid." The rebel. The one who does everything wrong. I'm not sure if they think getting involved in gangster politics and accidentally wrecking the opening night of a theater production counts as wrong. But that isn't going to keep me from doing it.

      My name is Consuela. I'm the one who doesn't want to fit in. In 2335 on Earth almost everybody is either EC or Invader. If you're caught in between them or mixed-class, it's tough. I'm bored by the whole thing, though. I'm an Invader to the core—I've got everything down pat. And I wish I wasn't just exactly what I'm supposed to be. My secret is I've always wanted to know more about the EC. I don't know why we're supposed to hate them. And when this random old EC woman asks me to come with her as a translator (because guess what, centuries of fighting between our two groups has created lots of barriers!) I couldn't turn it down. What I didn't anticipate was how much trouble my new friend is in. I always thought EC were pack-minded and loyal, but it seems I was wrong. I might turn a few heads by spending time with Miss Plummer—but if your friends turn out to be your enemies, maybe you need your enemies to become your friends. It's Palladia, though. Here both enemy and friend are words that so often mean the same thing. Would you trust me? I've got to shrug and say maybe you shouldn't.

    Author

    Sarah Scheele

    ​Sarah Scheele is the author of numerous books for younger readers. Her books often appeal to a "for the whole family" sensibility making them accessible to adults, as well as bridging numerous age subcategories within YA, from Middle Grade to New Adult.  She lives on a third-generation family farm in Texas, was homeschooled long before other people had even heard of the idea, and grew up surrounded by big blue skies, winding gravel roads, and the great classics of literature. Her independent, somewhat isolated existence meant the friends she made in these books--titles as varied as Little Women and The Lord of the Rings--had a reality to her almost equal to the close-knit circle of people she knew in real life. This sense of respect for people in general, which sprang from having very few in her life, permeates her books with emotional nuance and terse interactions between people expressed with simplicity. In her style of fiction, every detail matters--most of all the little things and the things we take for granted.  A published author for the last 15 years, she has an extensive repertoire of young adult fiction titles, divided into four trilogies. 2023 saw the beginning of the publication of complete trilogy editions for the first three trilogies. Her next standalone title will be Temmark Osteraith, the third book in the Prince's Invite Trilogy. She was also for 8 years a Pomeranian owner--and Pom would undoubtedly have said she was a devoted fan as well.  Her website is www.sarahscheele.com and her newsletter can be subscribed to by email by visiting the website or by RSS here http://feeds.feedburner.com/SarahScheelecom-News
