Who can chart the vastness of Incarceron?
Its halls and viaducts, its chasms?
Only the man who has known freedom
Can define his prison.<\/i><\/p>\n

-Songs of Sapphique<\/div>\n


Finn woke in the prison, frightened and — blank. And he’s been there for three years, living in the underbelly of a filthy, violent, thieving gang, a star seer, taken with strange epileptic fits, dreaming of strange things and a place he believes might be Outside. His venial, charming oathbrother, Keiron, thinks he’s quite mad, but keeps him around — he’s useful, after all, and the Sapient, Gildas, seems to truly believe in him.<\/p>\n

On the flip side of the coin, a girl named Claudia lives in pampered isolation. She is meant to be a princess, her father has plotted since before she was born to marry her to the prince of the realm. When she was seven, it wasn’t so bad — the prince of the realm was a boy called Giles, whom she actually liked well enough, but his death — sudden and strange — seems more than the accident it is claimed. Now the Sia, the Queen, has one other son to be crowned; cruel and shallow and impatient, she believes he will dominate Claudia, while Claudia’s father, the Warden of Incarceron, believes otherwise.<\/p>\n

Is Giles really dead? Or has the Warden plotted in more treasonous ways than Claudia knows?<\/p>\n

Is Finn really from the Outside? Are the memories that convulse through him his — or someone else’s?<\/p>\n

Mazes of betrayal and prisons within prisons catch the reader and hold them hostage. Incarceron<\/a> is much, much more than it seems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
