Rule #1: Stay invisible. Seventeen-year-old Tali Cordero has built her whole life around that rule, until the day she breaks it to save a drowning child and draws exactly the kind of attention an undocumented teen can’t afford.
Days later, with her mother’s deportation order already signed, Tali is offered a lifeline: a government-brokered “scholarship” to the LEDA Initiative, a program for girls the system has already given up on. What she finds on the Institute’s private island isn’t opportunity. It’s a trafficking pipeline, built to deliver girls exactly like her to the country’s most powerful men.
What the Institute doesn’t know is that Tali has never truly been alone in her own head. Twelve women warriors, spanning three millennia and six continents, have spoken to her since childhood, and they intend to make sure she survives what’s coming.
unBroken is a fierce, timely thriller about the invisible girls a broken system leaves behind, and what happens when they refuse to stay that way. For readers of Legendborn, Lobizona and Girls with Sharp Sticks.
