Wanted for treason. Pursued by the Party. But their secret cannot stay hidden. Stranded on the Outside, Carys, Jacob and Amy remain under an arrest and execution order. Lost amidst the ruins of an ancient city from the Before, they know they must hurry to escape their pursuers and tell the nation a secret that has been buried too long, but where will they run to and who will listen? Resistance movements are growing in Outsiders camps, but they have no way of communicating with one another and no way of challenging the system. The Commander's power is stronger than ever, and when the three fugitives end up in the Centre Compound they find themselves political pawns, asked to deny all they believe in. Will they become part of the regime, or will they find the strength to rebel? A rollercoaster ride of danger lies ahead, and only they can decide between truth and comfort. Rebellion Ground is Book 2 in the Newland Trilogy, a follow-up to Repression Ground. Book 3, Redemption Ground, will be published late 2024. What people are saying about Repression "Stark, memorable, beautifully written - Repression Ground captures the fears and hopes of those growing up in a dystopian world created by a previous generation, and how a sense of purpose and friendship can lead to a better future. A rare and thrilling dystopian novel, E.M. Carter creates a believable world of courage, friendship and the inherent value within ourselves." C.F. Dunn, author of The Tarnished Crown series "Repression Ground took me straight into a dystopian world which has more questions than answers, more danger than safety, more prejudice than acceptance. I was gripped by the narrative and kept racing through the pages to find out what was really going on!" Ruth Leigh, author of the Isabella M Smugge series "A triumph in dystopian teen fiction, Repression Ground helps you recognise love, friendship and bravery in a sometimes cruel world." L.G. Jenkins, Author of the Merit-Hunters series "Immerse yourselves in a Britain where love doesn't count, your real name is illegal and teachers set out to deliberately destroy you.Repression Ground is a high-octane story of courageous teenagers battling to get free and save others on the way - a book you would want your kids to read." Trevor Stubbs, author of The White Gates series 'Repression Ground is a breathtaking, exciting and important read, a glimpse into an all-too-possible future in which productivity is prized above everything. It made me turn the pages, reconsider my view of the world, and long for the sequel. Highly recommended!' Amy Scott Robinson, author of the Gladstone Trilogy
