PAPERBACK Author: Sarah Daniels Dark, gripping, and impossible to put down, THE STRANDED plunges readers into a dystopian world where survival means everything - perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, Delirium, and Station Eleven. Welcome to the Arcadia; once a luxury cruise ship, now a rusting prison on the ocean. For forty years, thousands of people have lived and died aboard, trapped just off the coast of a country that refuses to let them set foot on land. The ship is a floating city of extremes: the privileged few, the desperate many, and the gangs that control everything in between. Esther is determined to earn her way onto land by following every rule to perfection. Nik is a rebel fighting to free the Arcadia from corruption and ruin. They come from opposite worlds, but when their paths collide, their choices could spark a revolution - and change the future of everyone trapped at sea. Tense, atmospheric, and full of high-stakes twists, The Stranded asks one urgent question: how far would you go to escape the only world you’ve ever known?
