Eighteen-year-old Lydia Brone never imagined she'd be convicted of first-degree murder. "What a trip. This is a kick ass book. I have not read anything like this before." - Amazon Review But when her mom's drunken boyfriend becomes abusive, she does what any protective daughter would do-she gets involved. Killing him wasn't part of her plan. With handcuffs around her small wrists, Lydia stares out through the helicopter's window as Kormace Island-the Island of Killers-comes into view. She's read about the penal island online... she just never thought she'd be sentenced to serve three years on it. Learn how to build a fire? She can do that. Learn how to hunt? She'll figure it out. But how can anyone survive an island full of convicted murderers? That's a death sentence. If Lydia hopes to ever return home, she'll have to forget who she is and become someone else... someone capable of choosing survival over humanity.
