The Prodigal Daughter is the sequel to The Governor’s Daughter, a dystopian novel about a future America, where fundamentalism, religion and old-world values turn a nation into a war zone. Emma, the daughter of the most powerful man in the nation, in the first book, The Governor’s Daughter, finds herself caught between two camps, and when she finally decides what side she is on, and who she truly loves, the stakes for survival escalate. In The Prodigal Daughter, we find Emma, who sacrificed herself to save her brother and husband, now a captive, back in the hands of the very man, her father, who is the enemy of the revolutionary movement – a man who must decide what to do with his own daughter who betrayed him and joined the other camp. Meanwhile, her husband, Declan, fighting to survive his near mortal injuries, is challenged to not only survive, but to prove to his captors that he is on their side. Will the two ever be reunited? Will the rebellion against an oppressive regime, with Emma’s father at the helm, succeed, or will they be vanquished and wiped from the face of the Earth as the Governor unleashes a brutal and inhumane attack. The Prodigal Daughter will draw you to the end to find out what happens.
