"Poster Girl is a captivating story full of twists and turns--and no easy answers. I couldn't put this book down." --Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author of Girl, Forgotten
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth, a dystopian novel set in a surveillance state about one woman's desperate search for a missing girl...and the dark family secrets she uncovers along the way.
Sonya Kantor is paying for her parents' sins. Once the privileged daughter of a powerful regime, Sonya is now fighting for scraps in the Aperture, an unconventional prison for members of the now-collapsed Delegation. Sonya has no hope of clemency. She was the regime's former poster girl and the new government had to make an example of her.
But when Alexander Price, the brother of her now-dead fiancé's, appears and offers to broker a deal for her freedom, she allows herself to imagine life outside the Aperture. Her deep knowledge of the Delegation and her father's dark dealings could be the key to finding a missing girl named Grace. Find Grace, gain freedom.
The path to find Grace leads Sonya through an unfamiliar post-Delegation city with echoes of her former life at every turn. She meets Knox, a reclusive tech genius, and Naomi Proctor, Delegation scientist who reveals their most terrifying secret. Faced with open hostility and no resources, it's clear to Sonya this is a task she's meant to fail...unless she can face her unsavory past.
Poster Girl is a haunting dystopian mystery that confronts the consequence of choice...even when those choices aren't your own.
