The Verity: Part One - Paperback

by M. J. Lawrie (Author)

Their Death. Our Glory!

The Lottery is the chance of a lifetime. The one and only hope a girl has to escape certain death as a sacrificial soldier, fighting the bloodthirsty, flesh-tearing monsters that roam freely beyond "The Wall".
Put in your name, and if chosen, become wife to the powerful and gorgeous leader of the last of humanity.

Lord Noah Sands. A supposed living god amongst the last of humankind.

For seventeen years, Scarlett has lived as just such a soldier. Trained from birth to kill without question and be ready to die without complaint. Along with her group of misfit friends, she loves exploring the lost world beyond The Wall and fighting for humanity's freedom.

For Scarlett, winning The Lottery is a fate worse than death. It means turning her back on her secret lover, and worse, giving up the freedom being a killer gives her.

No chance.

But Lord Noah Sands has only ever had eyes for Scarlett, and when he threatens the man she truly loves, Scarlett must make an impossible choice.
Put her name into The Lottery and marry the monster.
Or become something not even he can control.
Something that will kill her quickly, if she's not careful.

To save the man she loves, she'll risk everything.
Her life. Her freedom. Even her humanity.

"The Walking Dead" meets "The Hunger Games" in this gripping dystopian fantasy of love against all odds and life or death stakes.
