Truth Sister Series

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. TO SURVIVE IN A HOSTILE WORLD, WOMEN MUST TAKE CONTROL OF THE KNOWLEDGE THAT REMAINS.   The year is 2149. The Women's Republic of Anglia seeks to harness forgotten technologies from the days when men ruled the world. But when Clara Perdue stumbles on information that the Republic has tried to keep hidden, she begins to realise that the society she has been taught to believe in – and trained to defend – is not all that it seems. A secret from Clara's past puts herself, her family, and her friends in danger, and Clara must choose between subservience and rebellion. In a world where knowledge is power, what you know can save your life. Or it can get you killed.

DISEASE STALKS THE LAND LIKE A WOLF, BUT THE FIGHTING GOES ON. AND IF YOU'RE CAUGHT UP IN IT, WHO CAN YOU TRUST?   2150, the Women's Republic of Anglia. The world, transformed by climate change, dwindling resources and successive epidemics, is in danger of descending into chaos. Ex-Truth Sister Clara Perdue, having escaped the great flood of London, has become separated from her friend Jack Pike and is now trying to reach Wight, where her mother Sophia is in prison. But once she makes it there, how can she avoid capture herself? And how can she help Sophia?   Meanwhile, Jack has fallen in with Hurn, a warlike chieftain in the lawless lands between Anglia and Wessex. Can he find new friendships and forget Clara? And when the Wessex army attack, can he face his doubts and fight?   And while Hurn seeks to steal a virus weapon, another plague is sweeping through Britain. Can Clara and Jack survive?   Word count: 93,000

WAR IS COMING, A WAR THAT COULD MEAN THE COLLAPSE OF THE REPUBLIC. BUT HOW CAN YOU DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT WHEN YOU'RE A SLAVE, DEEP IN THE BELLY OF A BRUTAL PATROL SHIP?   Clara Perdue isn't sure why she took Jack Pike's place at the slave market. She isn't sure why she saved another girl and volunteered for the Scorpion, a Coastforce ship that plies the Channel, murdering refugees and raiding the villages along the coast. And she's certainly not sure how she'll ever escape. But when Clara meets Xavi, another slave, she feels emotions she's never felt before. Meanwhile, Jack Pike has taken Clara's parents to safety, and as he tries to track her down he falls in with an unexpected ally. But how can they find Clara?   Can Clara escape the Scorpion somehow? And, even if she can, how can she stop the war?

Added to the deteriorating climate and dwindling energy, a wave of plagues is sweeping Britain. But while the Women's Republic of Anglia attempts to keep cloning going, former Truth Sister Clara Perdue plans to help her mother escape from prison. But can she succeed against the Republic's prohibition on Naturals? Meanwhile, Jack Pike has fallen in with a warlike chieftain in the disputed territory between Anglia and Wessex. Drawn into a fight that they cannot win, will he and his friends survive? And when Clara and Jack's paths cross again, can they put the past behind them and trust each other once more?
