The Isle

Jordana Frankel’s thrilling and imaginative novel The Isle takes up where The Ward left off, with drought season coming to a futuristic flooded New York City and its inhabitants suffering from a deadly disease called the Blight.

With the help of a scientist and a racing buddy, drag racer Ren has found a cure for the disease, and her sister, Aven, is on the mend. But Aven’s unexpected recovery has caught the eye of the evil Governor Voss. And when it comes to light that the cure, miraculous healing water, is the only freshwater source in the area, Governor Voss isn’t the only one after the sisters and their invaluable knowledge. Can they save themselves and their city?

• A Fierce Sisterhood: Drag racer Ren would do anything to protect her sister Aven. But when a miraculous cure makes Aven a target, their bond is tested in a desperate fight for survival.
• A Flooded New York City: Navigate the dangerous waterways of a futuristic Manhattan where drag racing is a way of life and fresh water is the most valuable currency.
• A Slow Burn Romance: Ren must rely on Derek, a member of a secret immortal family, for help. But trusting him could be just as dangerous as facing the governor alone.
• A Found Family: With a brilliant scientist and a loyal racing buddy at her side, Ren isn’t just fighting for her sister—she’s fighting for the only family she has left.
• High-Stakes Action: Perfect for fans of Divergent, this adventure features deadly chases, corrupt politics, and a desperate race against time to save a city from a tyrant who controls the cure.
