Untamed Series

Winner of the 2017 SIBA award for Best Dystopian Novel "A fantastic dystopian tale. Highly recommended for fans of strong heroines and intriguing sci-fi worlds." Pintip Dunn, New York Times bestselling author of the Forget Tomorrow Series In a world where addiction is encouraged, one girl must fight to stay clean...  As one of the last Untamed humans left in the world, Seven's life has always been controlled by tight rules. Stay away from the Enhanced. Don't question your leader. And, most importantly, never switch sides--because once you're Enhanced there's no going back. Even if you have become the perfect human being. But after a disastrous raid on an Enhanced city, Seven soon finds herself in her enemy's power. Realizing it's only a matter of time before she too develops a taste for the chemical augmenters responsible for the erosion of humanity, Seven knows she must act quickly if she's to escape and save her family from the same fate. Yet, as one of the most powerful Seers that the Untamed and Enhanced have ever known, Seven quickly discovers that she alone holds the key to the survival of only one race. But things aren't clear-cut anymore, and with Seven now questioning the very beliefs she was raised on, she knows she has an important choice to make. One that has two very different outcomes. Seven must choose wisely whose side she joins, for the War of Humanity is underway, and Death never takes kindly to traitors.

"A YA Mad Max—thrilling and deep, with richly drawn characters and spot-on pacing. With the sequel every bit as good as the predecessor, Dyer's Untamed Series is a must-read for dystopian fans." T.A. Maclagan, author of They Call Me Alexandra Gastone After the terrible battle against the Enhanced Ones, Seven and Corin find themselves on the run. With the Enhanced closing in, Seven knows they need to find other people on their side. So, when the opportunity arises to join the Zharat, one of the last surviving Untamed tribes, it seems like the perfect solution. But the Zharat lifestyle is a far cry from what Seven's used to. With their customs dictating that she must marry into their tribe, and her relationship with Corin breaking down, Seven knows she has to do something before it's too late. But that's easier said than done in a tribe where going against the rules automatically results in death. And, with the Enhanced still out there, nowhere is truly safe for the Untamed–least of all for the most powerful Seer in the world…and Seven soon discovers how far people will go to ensure she's on their side in the War of Humanity. Battling against the emerging web of lies, manipulation, and danger, Seven must remember who she was meant to be. Her life has never been more at stake. Nor has humanity itself.

"Dyer packs a punch with DIVIDED! As we've come to expect from her, the pages are packed with vivid imagery, high tension, and an earnest and willful heroine. Another great read in an intriguing saga."  Tracy Clark, author of The Light Key Trilogy & Mirage Having been tricked into binding herself to the Enhanced Ones in the War of Humanity, Untamed human Seven Sarr has never felt more exploited or used. When Raleigh forces her to develop her Seer powers and use them on a most innocent target, Seven knows it's only a matter of time before the Enhanced Ones use her to wipe out the rest of her people. Certain that the only way to save the Untamed would be to get back full control of her soul, Seven must get the Gods and Goddesses to trust her again. Only they can destroy her Enhanced Promise Marks, and prevent her enemy from controlling her. But these are the same Gods and Goddesses who have already branded Seven a traitor, and exiled her from the Dream Land, fearing she will cause their deaths. With no way to contact the Gods and Goddesses herself, Seven needs help. And she needs it quickly, before the war is over and she loses Corin, and the rest of the Untamed, for good. Yet, in a world as dangerous as this, only one thing's for sure: no one trusts a traitor twice.

"Madeline Dyer's This Vicious Way is an unyielding exploration into the motivations of a young assassin. Inga's determination to end the cycle of abuse that shaped her life makes for a gritty, heartbreaking, and captivating story." -- Sarah Mensinga, author of Currently "This Vicious Way is brutal in all the best ways. It will suck you in and tear you apart, put you back together and then do it all over again. What a ride! If you want a fantastic dystopian world, with unique and flawed (but totally kickass) characters-- this is totally the book for you." -- Stacey Trombley, author of Trial of Thorns

Her Seer powers are the strongest, and her death will end the War of Humanity once and for all. When the new morning dawns, the world as she knew it will be gone.

THERE'S ONLY SO FAR YOU CAN RUN… As a child, Kacey was possessed by the Beast. The Beast made her kill people. A lot of people. After that, Kacey vowed to squash the Beast down, pretend to be 'normal', and to never kill another human--Untamed or Enhanced--again. She managed this then--but now that she's twenty-one years old and living amid the War of Humanity, things are much harder.   When Kacey's Untamed group lay siege to an Enhanced city, a betrayal from within ruins everything. Barely escaping from the tunnels under the city, Kacey and the other Untamed survivors find themselves on the run, with the enemy hot on their trail. But, for once, the Enhanced Ones aren't the Untamed's biggest threat; something else is. Something they do not understand. Something that is causing the very fabric of the universe to unravel. With the dead no longer staying dead, time itself reshuffling, and Kacey's past haunting her, she must learn from her mistakes and fix the future before it can happen. Only that way will the world be stable enough for the Seventh One to fulfil the augury and end the War of Humanity once and for all.  But when fixing things means Kacey must work with the Beast, and 'winning' also means losing her most-loved, can turning herself into a monster ever be worth it?
