Don't believe what The New State Press tells you. Nineteen year-old Emma Bellamy is not a "good girl."

She's sick of the men who treat her like property, the endless Purity Protocols to which she must conform, and the brutal consequences when she inevitably fails. With a recalcitrant mind and headstrong nature, Emma continually questions the policies of the White Nationalist government, the suffocating patriarchy of a corrupt Universal Church and her uber-powerful father, the revered Governor. When she determines that everything she's been taught to believe is based on lies, Emma disobeys in the most ruinous way yet - she sets out to find the truth for herself.

And she doesn't give a damn if that makes her a "bad girl."

In a clandestine journey beyond the razor-wire topped walls of the Premier City, Emma is faced with the reality of what ninety-eight percent of the population faces. Extreme poverty. Disease. Unchecked police violence. Civil war in the '20s leveled cities and killed millions, leaving the masses broken, dispirited and unable to ever again threaten the Committee's reign. In her travels, Emma finds a few brave souls who dare to resist, risking everything to live their lives by their own rules.

Now she must choose. Does she doom herself to an unfulfilled but privileged life? Or does she risk everything for a chance at a future filled with purpose, passion and freedom?

For fans of The Handmaid's Tale, Hunger Games and Red Rising, The Governor's Daughter is a sublime hybrid of dystopian speculative fiction, thriller, action/adventure and tragic love story. With strong female characters, a fast-paced plot with twists you will never see coming, The Governor's Daughter is guaranteed to grab your attention and keep you riveted until the very end.
