Birthmarked by Caragh M. O'Brien #1: In the Enclave, your scars set you apart, and the newly born will change the future



In the Enclave, your scars set you apart, and the newly born will change the future.

Sixteen-year-old Gaia Stone and her mother faithfully deliver their quota of three infants every month. But when Gaia's mother is brutally taken away by the very people she serves, Gaia must question whether the Enclave deserves such loyalty. A stunning adventure brought to life by a memorable heroine, this dystopian debut will have readers racing all the way to the dramatic finish




Striking out into the wasteland with nothing but her baby sister, a handful of supplies, and a rumor to guide her, sixteen-year-old midwife Gaia Stone survives only to be captured by the people of Sylum, a dystopian society where women rule the men who drastically outnumber them, and a kiss is a crime. In order to see her sister again, Gaia must submit to their strict social code, but how can she deny her sense of justice, her curiosity, and everything in her heart that makes her whole?

Great thread idea, I Birthmarked. I'm still waiting to get Prized from my library.

Ooh I loved Prized! There has been some mixed reviews.. but I personally loved it. And it showed different layers to the characters.. and also showed you a different world than what we saw in Birthmarked.

I need to find Torchured. The short story set in between Birthmarked and Prized featuring Leon.

I didn't even know about Torchured. Is it in e-book format or something? Or will it be published like a novella?

Thanks for the link! Would you recommend I read Prized first, or does it not matter?

It doesn't really matter.. . because what happened in this short story gets mentioned in Prized. Maybe it is better to read the story first, because otherwise if you read it after Prized.. you already know what happened, you're just witnessing it first hand.

I like it!

Does anyone remember what Gaia's brother's name is? (The one she meets in the Enclave who was a guard?)
