Traitors’ Creed by Lauren Searson-Patrick

Truth makes traitors out of even the most dutiful.

Zanteera Island has a secret: it has two prisons. Vana, the one the world knows and fears, and an unnamed compound lined with comforts.
Serving her National Duty at Vana’s secret counterpart, Luka Brideoake doesn’t question the unorthodox disciplinary system, or the VIP status of the criminals. But when the Warden offers her a prestigious new assignment in Parliament, she starts to see the prison and its inmates in an uncomfortable new light.
Then, her childhood best friend and his brother show up sentenced to Vana, and Luka is forced to go against every rule she’s upheld to seek a dangerous new ally. All the while, the Warden’s cryptic advice suggests a political web far bigger than Luka could have imagined.
As inmates start to die and the authorities move in, her path intersects with a man as enigmatic as he is powerful. But how much of the life Luka thought she wanted is she prepared to trade…for the truth?
