Description
Charlie has grown up in a world that is dark and violent. A land fiercely ruled by an old and bitter queen and where classes were strictly divided by the language they speak. Charlie may have become the sovereign of Ludania, but the old Queen Sabara and other enemies lurk, biding their time to strike. In the final chapter of the Pledge trilogy, the battle comes to an epic conclusion.
Reviews / Votes
'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 CreaturesMore details
