John Dowe: Book 9.5

Eighteen-year-old Stanyard Dass is willing to die for his girlfriend.

He just wasn’t planning on it happening so soon.

Arrested for his involvement in the rebellion, Stanyard suffers through endless interrogation while the government uses him to threaten Philadelphia Smyrna, the leader of the revolution. Determined not to be used as blackmail, Stanyard looks for escape—and his opportunity comes in a most unlikely pair of allies.

Only one problem. His “rescuers” are insane. Literally. They talk in riddles, make way too much noise, and seem intent on getting them caught again. When their chaotic escape attempt strands them in the middle of the ocean, Stanyard begins to wonder if he’d be safer in jail.
