BREAKING BOND: a multi-episode YA dystopia from an Amazon bestselling author

CONSCRIPT, CONVICT, CONDUCT - this volume: EPISODES 1-3

EPISODE 1 - CONSCRIPT
Decision: foolish.
Consequences: lifechanging.

I get out, or I leave here in a coffin.
If I'd known what was yet to come, I'd have arranged the coffin myself.

In the Britain of the near future, teenagers are locked up under the laws of the new Regime.

For crimes, at first. For misdemeanours, next. But always without trial and always under the guards of the Patrol, the new military force tasked with cleaning up the streets and jailing offenders under the mandates of Youth Laws 1-3.

15-year-old Cal Kane has been a Runner for months. He's not stupid, or so he thinks. But one rainy November night, he's very stupid indeed. Which lands him at the 'Centre', the Regime's flagship jail where things are worse than he ever imagined. Much worse.

Trust no-one. Especially yourself.

EPISODE 2 - CONVICT

A rough start to a hard time…

He grabs the collar of my T-shirt, jerking me back.
So I punch him.
Then he comes for me.

First day in jail? Always a mindf*ck.

First day in teenage jail? Mindf*ck squared.

And that's without making any mistakes.

15-year-old Cal Kane faces his first day in teen jail.

It does not go well.

First days are the worst days...

EPISODE 3 – CONDUCT

How bad can it get?
Very f*cking bad indeed.

Eventually, the shaking slows. The shock ebbs, just a little. I force deep breaths, over and over until I've counted in hundreds.
I tell myself I'm okay.
But I'm not.
Something in me has broken.

Cal Kane thinks he's figured out the worst the Regime can throw at him.

That's yet another of his many recent mistakes.

Now he finds out just how brutal teen jail can get.

Now he's keeping his head down.

Coward.

Coward.

Cal can take anything – he thinks. Used to think. Until a brutal punishment and a new arrival has him facing his biggest challenges – and his biggest shock – yet.

When you've fought with every fibre of your being. But the hardest fight is yet to come.
