Series: Prisoners of Peace #1
Description
The world is at peace, said the Utterances. And really, if the odd princess has a hard day, is that too much to ask?Greta is a duchess and crown princessâand a hostage to peace. This is how the game is played: if you want to rule, you must give one of your children as a hostage. Go to war and your hostage dies.Greta will be free if she can survive until her eighteenth birthday. Until then she lives in the Precepture school with the daughters and sons of the worldâs leaders. Like them, she is taught to obey the machines that control their lives. Like them, she is prepared to die with dignity, if she must. But everything changes when a new hostage arrives. EliĂĄn is a boy who refuses to play by the rules, a boy who defies everything Greta has ever been taught. And he opens Gretaâs eyes to the brutality of the system they live underâand to her own power.As Greta and EliĂĄn watch their nations tip closer to war, Greta becomes a target in a new kind of game. A game that will end up killing them bothâunless she can find a way to break all the rules.
