THE PLEDGE
By: Derting, Kimberly
In the violent country of Ludania, the language you speak determines what
class you are, and there are harsh punishments if you forget your place--looking
a member of a higher class in the eye can result in immediate execution.
Seventeen-year-old Charlaina (Charlie for short) can understand all languages, a
dangerous ability she's been hiding her whole life. Her only place of release is
the drug-filled underground club scene, where people go to shake off the
oppressive rules of the world they live in. There, she meets a beautiful and
mysterious boy who speaks a language she's never heard, and her secret is almost
exposed. Through a series of violent upheavals, it becomes clear that Charlie
herself is the key to forcing out the oppressive power structure of her
kingdom….TitlePeek
