Paperback
(Clean Teen Publishing March 5, 2019)
"Gentlemen, we have a special treat for you today. Feast your eyes on this pure-blooded beauty!"
Sixteen-year-old Serenity has spent her entire life in hiding to protect her from this exact moment. In a world where beauty is bought and sold on the streets like a corporate commodity, Serenity is taken--ripped from her life--and sold to the highest bidder. And that bidder? Enigmatic and dangerous, Luc is the director of The Aviary--an elite museum where girls are displayed as living art by day...and cater to the lascivious whims of the highest bidder by night. In this elaborate and competitive world, girls go by names like Raven and Nightingale, and will stop at nothing to become top Bird.
Luc idolizes Serenity's purity and aims to turn her into his grandest exhibit of all time--The Swan. In no time, she becomes the most coveted exhibit in Aviary history. When she discovers Luc holds the key to finding her parents, she must learn to play the Swan to perfection...to win his heart and earn his trust. But she doesn't anticipate falling for him in the process. Now she faces an impossible choice: escape The Aviary and lose her only chance at finding her parents--or become Luc's Swan for good and lose her identity forever.
The Jewel by Amy Ewing meets Tricks by Ellen Hopkins in this dark, riveting dystopian tale. Fans of The Handmaid's Tale will love for themselves and their children.
Content Note: The Uncaged Series raises awareness about the devastating effects of sex-trafficking. These books brush on themes of abuse and manipulation, dissociation, pornography, Stockholm Syndrome, drug use in the industry, and various other subjects. Stories were inspired by real-world truths from survivors and rescue workers. No graphic violence. A portion of The Aviary's proceeds will always go to benefit Women at Risk, International.
