Formats: E-Book, Audio, Paperback
Ages: 18+
In the 24th century, Earth has been reshaped by floods, fires, and pandemics. Out of this devastation, a new world has emerged—resilient, fragmented, and fiercely unequal. On New Earth, the strong thrive while the vulnerable survive however they can.
Kat Wallace is one of the forgotten. Born to an indifferent mother and a cruel father in the rugged North Country, she’s used to staying invisible. But when she’s kidnapped and sold into brutal slavery by human traffickers, Kat’s world shatters. Tortured and controlled, she finds within herself an unexpected will to endure—and to escape.
Her daring bid for freedom leads her to Bosch, a rebellious pirate nation that values freedom, cunning, and defiance. Under the eye of its charismatic leader, Teddy, Kat trains with the Bosch Pirate Force, determined to rise, to fight, and to liberate others still in chains.
But when love enters her life, and an impossible choice threatens her loyalty, Kat must decide what matters most: vengeance, freedom… or a home she never thought she’d find.
Swashbuckling adventure, fierce heroines, found family, and raw resilience collide in this unputdownable sci-fi series.
Reviews
Sarah Branson creates a compelling saga of a life not always so merry .... Readers who look for more than just a satisfying futuristic adventure story of survival will find plenty of social, ethical, and psychological inspections in A Merry Life which bring this futuristic world and its competing forces to vivid life."
Swashbuckling, vengeance and heart — all wrapped up in one heck of a strong woman. Kat Wallace is a Thrall, a slave, to an unbelievably rich and powerful man. After three failed escape attempts, she's taken into the care of a Pirate Captain, and given the chance to start to live her life. She learns how to be patient, how to stay her hand when the opportunity for revenge presents itself at an unexpected moment. As Kat's story unfolds, your heart will break along with hers; you'll feel her joy and her terror. I sincerely look forward to the next instalment in Kat's story.
