Seemingly abandoned by their parents, siblings Lena and Alek are caught up at different ends of a war – while Lena designs propaganda posters in Plymouth, Alek is forced into the army. Both dream of escape, of another life … but as the war continues and they find each other, they question whom they can trust.
When survival is everything, is everyone an enemy?
“The Poster isn’t just a page-turning dystopian thriller, it’s also a fascinating exploration of family ties, trust and the meaning of freedom.” Catherine Coe, All Stories.
“Filled with colourful descriptions that paint a bleak picture of war. A great depiction of a world no one wants.” CandleLit Magazine
