Scorched
Britt Ringel
Hurt, coinless and alone, she takes cover in another alley and soon comes to an uneasy truce with its only occupant. Rat is a man typical of Shantytown, a Trodden non-citizen who can barely survive in this slum that surrounds Waytown like a noose. Unable to remember her past, her only option is to learn from the Trodden to eke out an uncertain future. How can nothing become something, how can one coin become two? What are the rules and the dangers in the slums she must call home, and, most importantly, how did she get here?
Survival takes priority over discovering her identity, until she comes to realize that what happened to her was no accident. The few friends she manages to make, the hopeless Rat, the disgraced Doc Reynolds, the handsome Sadler, may regret ever taking her into their lives, and their hearts. But if she can remember what she can do, the powers she can wield, then she will become the hunter.
Scorched, a romantic suspense novel set in a dystopian future, follows the mystery of one woman’s struggle to regain her identity and discover the reason why a powerful force wants her dead.
