Synopsis

True love--and world war--is at stake in the conclusion to The Pledge trilogy, a dark and romantic blend of dystopia and fantasy.

Charlie, otherwise known as Queen Charlaina of Ludania, has become comfortable as a leader and a ruler. She's done admirable work to restore Ludania's broken communications systems with other Queendoms, and she's mastered the art of ignoring Sabara, the evil former queen whose Essence is alive within Charlie. Or so she thinks.

When the negotiation of a peace agreement with the Queendom of Astonia goes awry, Charlie receives a brutal message that threatens Ludania, and it seems her only option is to sacrifice herself in exchange for Ludanian freedom.

But things aren't always as they seem. Charlie is walking into a trap--one set by Sabara, who is determined to reclaim the Queendoms at any cost.

About this title

Review:

'Remarkably original and deliciously romantic, The Pledge, unfolds at a breakneck pace. I held my breath until the very last page' Carrie Ryan, New York Times bestselling author of The Forest of Hands and Teeth 'Derting's chilling dystopia - is right on when depicting the bonds of family, friendship, and first love' Publishers Weekly 'This is one of the few YA novels I've ever seen that expressly examines the power of a girl's own voice, her right to have it and use it. The Pledge is deeply written and deeply felt, and I look forward to the sequel' Margaret Stohl, joint author of Beautiful Creatures
