The Watchmaker's New Order

An otherwise ordinary summer trip to the countryside is upended when sixteen-year-old Sarah first hears about the bombs. They’re detonating in every major city in the world, and as far as anyone knows, they don’t stop when power and communications suddenly go down. When her aunt and uncle don’t return from a supply run, Sarah sets out in search of help, but with no idea how she arrived there, she instead wakes up in Elysia, a seaside children’s prison, where the Guardians who watch the gates aren’t the only enemy.

While trying to outwit a gang of perilous teenage thugs who rule Elysia, Sarah and her new friend Atlas sift through propaganda explaining the establishment of the New Order that has put them here. Deeply buried, they discover the existence of a mysterious Failsafe, left by the engineer of the New Order, that promises to return life to normal. With no hope that rescue is coming, it’s up to Sarah and Atlas to find the Failsafe and bring an end to the Watchmaker’s New Order. But first they have to get out of Elysia alive...
