Broken Angel : A Novel

Caitlyn is just fifteen. Her mutated body has made her an outcast, a freak, and the target of vicious bounty hunters. Why did her father betray her by leaving her and making her run? Why must she pay the price for his sins?

In the rough, shadowy, hills of Appalachia, a nation carved from the United States following years of government infighting, Caitlyn and her companions are on the run as fugitives. They must outwit the relentless bounty hunters, skirt an oppressive, ever-watchful society, and find passage over the walls of Appalachia to reveal the dark secrets behind Caitlyn’s existence-and understand her father’s betrayal.

As they make their way to the walled borders of Appalachia, can the young girl stay ahead of all that threatens her in time to reach a monument where she will finally learn the secrets of her past…and the destiny she must fulfill?

In this engrossing, lightning-paced story with a post-apocalyptic edge, bestselling author Sigmund Brouwer explores timely and explosive issues through the lens of a treacherous culture only one or two steps removed from our own.
