In the gripping conclusion of the trilogy, Noa and her friends face a life-altering exam that could change their fates forever in The Territory, Truth.
Set in the year 2059, The Territory, Truth takes readers to a dystopian version of Britain, ravaged by flooding and scarcity of land. In this world, every fifteen-year-old must take a critical exam that determines their fate: pass, and they can remain in the safe confines of the Territory; fail, and they are banished to the perilous Wetlands. The stakes are high, and the pressure is immense as Noa, Jack, and Raf prepare for this life-altering test.
As the story unfolds, the trio becomes increasingly aware of the oppressive regime that governs their lives. The authorities enforce strict rules and maintain a formidable wall that separates the Territory from the outside world. In this gripping conclusion to the Territory trilogy, Noa and her friends must confront not only the exam but also the dark secrets that lie behind the wall. Their journey is fraught with danger, as they seek to challenge the status quo and bring to light the truth that has been hidden from them.
The Territory, Truth is a tale of resilience, friendship, and the quest for freedom. Will Noa, Jack, and Raf be able to uncover the truth and dismantle the oppressive system that controls their lives? As they navigate through trials and tribulations, the bonds of their friendship are tested, and the importance of standing up for what is right becomes ever more apparent.
Reviews for The Territory; 'This is a truly exceptional novel, exciting, gripping and intense, with relatable protagonists whose agonies become the reader's own ... the final cliff-hanger will leave you clamouring for more.' Book Trust; `Govett has created a powerful and shocking novel that makes the reader wonder how societies would deal with the environmental consequences of climate change and if there could ever be any `right' course of action... excellent, thought-provoking book.' Children's Books Ireland; `...it's an enjoyable, fast-paced read, and raises some interesting questions about how you would behave in difficult situations, as well as being a clear indictment of the UK education system. It's the first in a trilogy and I'll be interested to see how the story progresses.' Books for Keeps; `I loved every second of this book, it was phenomenal.' Yourbestbookpal; `More 10 Things I Hate About You than The Hunger Games; The Territory is a brilliant introduction to a dystopian society not too far removed from our own. It goes beyond the expected tropes of a grim and bloody fight for survival and instead focuses on the daily life being a second class citizen in that most relatable and terrifying of settings - high school... The Territory is a believable, exciting read that had me hanging on every word and left me wanting to find out more about a world that could be our future.' Teen Librarian/Matt Imrie
