The Garden

Would you die for a monster?In 2050, a tragedy inside a walled city drives a woman mad with grief. Her patients become prisoners, her team of doctors and nurses become instruments of torture. The Garden Institute, a place of hope and compassion, collapses into violence and death.In 2095, identical twin sisters Eden and Jennat live in a perfect pocket of humanity. The Garden is a walled city forgotten by a warring country in the depths of a wilderness too dangerous to explore. And its citizens have found a balance. Through annual tests, the people's mental, emotional, physical, and medical health are examined, weighed, and determined perfect... or Undesirable. Undesirables are removed from society, sent to The Pit, the horrid underground torture chambers beneath the city, and there, they live short, anguished lives as the members of The Garden purge their negative emotions by brutalizing members of The Pit. At 15, Eden-one half of a set, the imperfect half to a perfect whole-is deemed Undesirable. In a desperate attempt to save her, Jennat concocts a plan to take her place. If caught, they'll certainly be killed.The bond that binds Eden and Jennat is unbreakable, and they'll do anything to protect each other. But what starts as a simple mission to save the life of one person quickly becomes much bigger than either of them could have imagined, and in the end, both their lives may be lost.For fans of THE HUNGER GAMES and DIVERGENT, The Garden will captivate you, horrify you, and leave you wondering what really makes a person a monster.
