Overview:

Our country has fallen and young people are being forced to be recruits of Talionis. They are to forget where they come from and the life they knew. But Bria Averton is not compliant, at least in her mind and spirit. She tries to follow the rules and to excel in her training, if for no other reason than to help her escape. But Bria carries some pretty heavy baggage and her heart is heavy, too; she never feels worthy. Can Jesus really forgive her? And how can she escape Talionis and save those she loves?

Rating:

4 out of 5

Suggested audience:

Teen readers, fans of dystopia

Christian impact:

Many fantasies or dystopian novels for teens are very obscure in their Christianity but Recruit of Talionis is right out there with teens sharing their faith.
