The Abyss Amy Cross

"Wherever you go, war will follow. War and pain and death, for everyone around you." When a boat comes ashore on the island, Iris discovers that its occupant is an important figure from the mainland. But why would anyone risk such a dangerous journey, and what does the mysterious stranger want with Asher? Soon, more new arrivals reach the island. Two opposing armies, each determined to get the upper hand, stake their positions on the beach. Before long, the future of the island itself is in doubt, as fighting breaks out and as the town of Steadfall is attacked. The armies are looking for Asher, but Asher has been dead for a decade. Or at least, that's what everybody is supposed to believe. Including her young daughter Nissa. The Abyss is the third book in the Island series, set in a dystopian future. The book ends on a cliffhanger, to be resolved in the fourth and final part of the series.
