A Fox in the Wolf Pack

Book excerpt: What would you risk for your freedom? In the Cove, girls live sheltered lives. They spend their days learning the essential skills that will make them good wives and mothers. Their only worry is how to catch the eye of a highly ranked officer on Pairing Day. But for seventeen year old Giselle Fox, Pairing Day is the dreaded day she will lose her freedom. Driven by uncertainty and panic, she makes a split second decision that goes against almost 200 years of tradition. What's worse, it goes against the strict Code by which all of Liberty is governed. Faced with no other choice but to keep moving forward, Giselle struggles to navigate a world she didn't even know existed. Armed with skills that were acquired illegally and information she read in banned books, she finds the courage not only to survive, but thrive in surroundings foreign to all girls, especially one from the Cove. With the help of her oldest friend, a new ally and a familiar face from her past, she bravely battles enemies way out of her league and uncovers secrets that cause her to question her own family and the foundation Liberty is built on. In the end, will she finally earn her freedom or has she been nothing more than a pawn in in much bigger game?
