Book Description
Incarceron is a prison so vast that it contains not only cells and corridors, but also metal forests, dilapidated cities and vast wilderness. It has been sealed for centuries, and only one man has ever escaped. Finn is a seventeen-year-old prisoner. Although he has no memory of his childhood, he is sure he came from Outside. His link to the Outside, his chance to break free, is Claudia, the warden's daughter, herself determined to escape an arranged marriage. Finn is determined to escape the prison and Claudia believes she can help him. But they don’t realize that there is more to Incarceron than meets the eye, and escape will take their greatest courage and cost more than they know. They are up against impossible odds, but one thing looms above all: Incarceron itself is alive....
