The electrifying sequel to the bestselling, critically acclaimed,
page-turning thriller, The Upper World, soon to be a major movie
starring Academy Award Winner Daniel Kaluuya.
With her mentor, Dr Esso, by her side, Peckham born and bred Rhia is
beginning her first week at the University of Oxford. She’s determined
to have a fresh start and put the Upper World behind her. But fitting
into the hallowed halls of Oxford proves more difficult than she
thought when she struggles to find her people.
That’s until Rhia receives a mysterious invite under her door to a
secret and exclusive society called the Ravens. The Ravens are part of
the 1% and being a member of the cult-like group guarantees students a
life of wealth and success. But is Rhia really willing to sell out to
secure her future?
And, more pressingly, with increasingly strange goings-on happening
around her, could joining the group mean opening Pandora’s box – and
uncovering something even more mind-bending than the Upper World? Rhia
is about to find out . . .
SHADOW CHILDREN
Luke has never been to school. He's never had a birthday party,
or gone to a friend's house for an overnight. In fact, Luke has
never had a friend.
Luke is one of the shadow children, a third child forbidden by
the Population Police. He's lived his entire life in hiding, and
now, with a new housing development replacing the woods next to his
family's farm, he is no longer even allowed to go outside.
Then, one day Luke sees a girl's face in the window of a house
where he knows two other children already live. Finally, he's met a
shadow child like himself. Jen is willing to risk everything to
come out of the shadows -- does Luke dare to become involved in her
dangerous plan? Can he afford not to?
The earth has been uninhabitable for decades, but now humanity has
returned to the planet. Mankind, though intellectually advanced has
become spiritually sightless and bound by fear and insecurity and
mankind's survivors have grown apart into two tribes: the
spiritually enlightened Otom, living in brotherhood with the
ocean-dwelling Mers, and the unemotional, strangely youthful
Scientists, who live in their city beneath the ground. The Otom and
the Scientists have the opportunity to meet and learn from each
other. But the Otom must reach enlightenment if they are to
survive, and some of the Scientists have plans that threaten their
goal.
