Soledad: Dark Republic Book One by D.L. Young

A broken world you won’t forget. A smart, gripping story you won’t be able to put down. Winner of the 2017 Independent Press Award.

“…a thrilling and intelligent contribution to the genre, as fierce as the main character for whom the novel is named.” – Nebula Award nominee Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam.

Soledad Paz is a slave, sold to a ruthless rebel leader by marauders who raided her home and murdered her parents. With her remarkable ability to see through any deception, she’s become an invaluable–and unwilling–secret weapon in the war to control the Republic.

When a ghost from her former life unexpectedly appears, everything she thought she knew about her past shatters into oblivion and she resolves to find the truth…by any means necessary.

But in the dark republic, the truth is never simple…and it’s never what you expect.
