Táto dystopická trilógia zavedie čitateľov do sveta po klimatickej katastrofe, kde je spoločnosť rozdelená. Hlavná hrdinka Gaia žije mimo opevnenej Enklávy a jej matka pracuje ako pôrodná babica s temným tajomstvom. Keď je jej matka násilne odvedená, Gaia začne spochybňovať lojalitu k Enkláve a vydáva sa na nebezpečnú cestu za pravdou. Je to napínavé dobrodružstvo s nezabudnuteľnou hrdinkou, ktoré vás pohltí až do dramatického záveru.
In the future, there are those who live inside the walled Enclave and those, like 16-year-old Gaia Stone, who live outside. Gaia delivers babies, then hands a quota over to be 'advanced' into the privileged society of the Enclave. She has always believed this is her duty, until the night her mother and father are arrested.
Sixteen-year-old midwife Gaia Stone is in the wasteland with nothing but her baby sister, a handful of supplies, and a rumor to guide her when she is captured by the people of Sylum, a dystopian society where she must follow a strict social code or never see her sister again.
Caragh M. O'Brien's Promised is the conclusion to the thrilling YA dystopian adventure Birthmarked Trilogy, where the world is divided between those who live inside the wall and those who live outside. After defying the ruthless Enclave, surviving the wasteland, and upending the rigid matriarchy of Sylum, Gaia Stone now faces her biggest challenge ever. She must lead the people of Sylum back to the Enclave and persuade the Protectorat to grant them refuge from the wasteland. In Gaia's absence, the Enclave has grown more cruel, more desperate to experiment on mothers from outside the wall, and now the stakes of cooperating or rebelling have never been higher. Is Gaia ready, as a leader, to sacrifice what—or whom—she loves most?
