Has it been a while since you’ve read a dystopian novel?

I think the last one I read was the Hunger Games, so it’s been a while for me!

And now I have an exciting new one to share with you!

Nightshade: The Castra Project, book one by Lisa Johnston! She’s an indie author and super sweet, we’ve been friends with Lisa for a while through Instagram and happy to share her book with you!

Here’s a little about Nightshade.

Friends are treacherous. Enemies are lethal. The Castra Project Begins.

North America has fractured and new nations must rely on each other for survival. Trade is essential—even if it’s human.

At the age of nineteen, Brie is forced to leave the comforts of home and sent to the secretive nation of Castra where her unskilled labor is exchanged for goods needed by her home country. But this is not a normal trade mission. In a turn of events beyond the imaginable, Brie becomes one of countless young women earmarked for the Project—coded, imprinted, and classified as a test subject.

Exposed to trials with dire consequences, the tension increases when Brie inexplicably comes under the scrutiny of a brutal and malicious lieutenant who has the power to bring her to her knees. And he does, every chance he gets.

With escalating uncertainty, Brie and her allies must navigate the maze of deception. Betrayal runs rampant and befriending the wrong people could cost them everything. Despite their best efforts, not everyone will survive the Castra Project….
