She’s been playing her father’s game of power her whole life, matching him move for move in his quest to make her Queen. Circumstances happen to push Finn, Keiro and a couple of others to try to escape, and the book is mostly about their attempt to get out of Incarceron.īut it’s also one part political intrigue: Claudia is on the Outside, the daughter of the Warden of Incarceron. He struggled to survive and joined a group of thieves, becoming oathbrothers with a man named Keiro. Finn has recently appeared he was “cell born” - he has no memory of a childhood: he just appeared in Incarceron’s cells one day. They meant it to be a paradise, but over the years, it has degenerated into the worst of hells. It’s one part dystopian novel: Incarceron is a prison that the “Outside” designed for the refuse of society as an experiment. But as I was reading this book, when people asked me what it was about, I was really at a loss. For some books, the plot summary comes easy.
