Recruit of Talionis
About the Book
“Forget where you came from. Forget the life you knew. You are now recruits of Talionis!”
America has fallen.
Seventeen-year-old Bria Averton grew up in a small town of survivors near the ruins of Portland, Maine. It’s all she’s ever known — until she’s kidnapped along with hundreds of other teens and brought to the city of Talionis. A city no one knew existed.
The soldiers tell them the intense trainings are for the good of the survivors, and Bria resists being forced into a new life as a recruited soldier. But she soon finds the dangers in the city are greater than she imagined.
Escape is impossible, and Bria fears drowning in the evil of the city… and the guilt from her own past. But can she find hope, even here?
A girl trapped in a cruel, futuristic world. A thrilling escape plan. Persevering hope. Milacci’s Recruit of Talionis delivers a page-turning story filled with multifaceted characters, determination, and adventure. Highly recommended!
A stunning debut! I'd been in an anti-reading funk for a few months and within a few pages of this book, that turned around and now I can't wait to read more! The characters are relatable and fun, and the story is fast-paced with many throwbacks to other favorites sci-fi novels or dystopian, like Hunger games, Enders game, and even bits of The Selection series. The stakes were so high you have to keep reading, but the deeper themes were also expertly woven in and really hit the Main Character's journey home. I read it in just a few sittings. I'd been a while since a book did that to me and I was so thrilled. All I can say is, when is book 2 coming out?!
An immersive and fast-paced read! This Young Adult Dystopian novel will take you on a thrilling ride.
Recruit of Talionis is a gripping, action-packed dystopian adventure that will keep you turning the pages. Bria and the other kidnaped teens forced to become soldiers are subjected to brutal treatment with no hope of escape...Recruit of Talionis will draw you into Milacci’s incredible world and have you rooting for the underdogs...
