Finn, 17, a prisoner of Incarceron, whose memories of life before prison are vague dreams. Incarceron was built centuries ago to correct the evil that men do and now Incarceron rules all handing out life and death. A legend passed down over the centuries is of a man named Sapphique, who escaped Incarceron. He was the only one to do so. Now Finn, and three others are ready to follow in Sapphique's footsteps and escape the prison. Claudia, the warden's daughter, lives a sheltered life surrounded by servents but longs for escape from ther father, Incarceron's warden. Claudia has been raised to marry the heir of the kingdom where she lives, only the true heir died years ago and she now has to marry a spoiled, selfabsorbed half brother. Finn and Claudia each find a key that allows them to communicated with each other. Over time, Finn and Claudia learn to trust each other and vow to help each other obtain freedom. As with any path taken, there are twists and turn in their journey to help each other. In a startling, unexpected turn Claudia and Finn come face to face.
Detailed, savage, and dark, Incarceron takes the reader into a world of survival and deceipt. The characters are neither all good or all bad and each has his/her own agenda for their actions. Finn's guilt and loyalty tug at him each step of the way. Claudia battles what has been taught to her as duty and what she thinks is right. If you are looking for a light fluffy read, this isn't it. Be prepared to be sucked into the world of Incarceron and to stay there for awhile.
