Incarceron

          Incarceron. A novel by Catherine Fisher set in a dystopian future, and told from two different perspectives. The tag line of the novel is, "INCARCERON. A prison like no other. It gives life. It deals death. It watches all." In the book, a teenage boy named Finn is trapped inside of Incarceron, a vast, living prison that controls the people within it so well, most don't actually believe in Outside. They have only the Legends of Sapphique, the only man ever fabled to have escaped Incarceron. Outside, there is a teenage girl names Claudia, the daughter of the Warden of Incarceron. Only the Warden knows what goes on inside the prison. And Outside, everything has been reverted to the Middle Ages. Years ago, a king decided that technology was a menace, and shut everything down. They now live in a Dark Age, with royals, peasants, beheadings, and much, much worse. Claudia is destined to marry the heir to the throne. There is only one problem. She doesn't love Caspar, who is a whiny, obnoxious shell of a boy, ultimately controlled by his mother, the Queen. When Finn and Claudia make contact through the most unlikely circumstances, they band together to help one another. Both to escape a different kind of prison. Can they free themselves-and each other-before it's too late?
