Necessary
Sacrifices by Zoe Cannon
Series: The Torturer’s Daughter, #2
Publication date: July 15th 2013
Genre: YA Dystopia
I am pleased to present....
A year and a half ago,
Becca Dalcourt joined the resistance. Three months ago, she started working undercover
inside Internal Defense. A year from now, she’ll probably be dead.
She knows the odds. She’s seen how the life of a double agent ends.
All she wants is a chance to do something with what little time she
has left. Something big. Something meaningful. But the resistance
doesn’t trust her, and her job transcribing torture sessions hasn’t
given her anything but the names of dissidents whose lives, according to
her resistance contact, aren’t worth saving.
So when she discovers a secret government program designed to
brainwash dissidents into loyal citizens, she resolves to shut it down,
no matter the cost. Even if her plan puts everyone she loves in
danger. Even if the most experienced resistance fighters say it can’t be
done. Even if it means betraying the only person who sees past the
mask she wears every day.
Even if she has to do it alone.
The sequel to The Torturer’s Daughter, which has been praised for its dark
realism, Necessary Sacrifices asks how you fight an enemy that can't be
defeated... and what sacrifices are worth making along the way.
Zoe Cannon writes
about the things that fascinate her: outsiders, societies no sane person
would want to live in, questions with no easy answers, and the inner
workings of the mind. If she couldn't be a writer, she would probably be a
psychologist, a penniless philosopher, or a hermit in a cave
somewhere. While she'll read anything that isn't nailed down, she
considers herself a YA reader and writer at heart. She lives in New
Hampshire with her husband and a giant teddy bear of a dog, and spends
entirely too much time on the internet.
