Ways of the Doomed cover

It's the year 2089 and everything is altered. The revolutions of the early 21st century have created a world divided - between the Privileged few and the Native (Celtic) underclass. Sorlie is enjoying a typical carefree Privileged teenage life until it is smashed apart by the cruel death of his parents and he is spirited away to live with his ice-cold grandfather at a mysterious island penal colony. Sorlie's discovery that the captives are being genetically altered to remove all trace of their Native origins triggers a chain of shocking events that reveal his grandfather's terrible secrets and, ultimately, the truth about himself.

'If you liked Divergent and that one about hunger, you're going to love Ways of The Doomed. Moira McPartlin s prose is rich but unpretentious, her storytelling, thumping. An exciting new voice in YA fiction.' --Helen FitzGerald;
