Claire Melrose | 6 comments I read this book about a year ago and then lost the physical copy when moving house and can’t remember the name now!!

The book is set in a dystopian apocalyptic world, there is a sand storm every night that basically kills anyone who isn’t indoors by the time it hits. The main character is a heroine who is part of an underground fighting ring and all the normal people who aren’t part of the rich families are addicted to some kind of bean that they chew.

The rich people host a game to pick the new leaders once every couple years from the rich people’s children who are graduating school. Turns out the heroine had been kidnapped from her rich parents as a baby by the rebellion team who kidnapped the rich powerful children so that they could raise them to fight for the rebellion.

If it helps I remember the cover being red and white but that’s as far as I can remember.

I remember a lot of other obscure details if anyone has questions about the content and plot.

Jada (semi study hiatus) I'm not sure, but it sounds similar to Dustborn by Erin Bowman.
