Divided Fates: Book 1
Publication Date: September 9, 2025
Enter the brutal world of Endlock, a prison where the wealthy hunt the inmates for sport. The first novel in an electrifying dystopian romance series, this high-octane debut about forbidden love, found family, and a fight for survival will leave you breathless.
In the city of Dividium, the law is simple: commit a crime, and your punishment is a life sentence in Endlock.
Raven Thorne is Dividium’s most notorious bounty hunter, living on the edge of society. But when her younger brother, Jed, is sentenced to Endlock, Raven will do anything to save him—even if it means getting herself arrested.
Now trapped in a prison where danger lurks around every corner, Raven must use all her cunning and strength to protect Jed—and herself if she is to complete her perilous mission. But there’s one obstacle she never expected: the prison guard who stirs something deep inside her. The man she should hate. The man whose true motives seem impossible to pin down.
In a world where trust is a weapon and love is a liability, Raven must decide if she will risk everything to tear down a vicious system.
As a bounty hunter living in Dividium, Raven Thorne will do anything to protect her younger brother—even if it means a sentence in Endlock.
Author Brooke Fast creates a fascinating dystopian thriller in To Cage a Wild Bird. Even readers who might shy away from this genre will find the characters to be compelling.
Rather than Endlock being a typical prison, it illustrates the disconnect between the social classes. The wealthy, also known as the Upper Sector, hunt the prisoners for sport.
An unlikely attraction between Raven and Vale, a prison guard, adds to the depths of the storyline. In a world where the haves and have-nots are separated, Raven discovers blurred lines that make her question all of her beliefs.
To Cage a Wild Bird delivers a powerful first installment that sets the stage for more to come.
Brooke Fast is a lover of dystopian, fantasy, and all things romance. When she’s not writing new worlds, you can find her curled up on the couch with her husband and their pups in their self-built tiny house in the mountains of Maine. She’ll either be consuming copious amounts of coffee and thumbing through the latest romantasy release or sharing book reviews and writing snippets under her alter-ego, @librarybrookes. To Cage a Wild Bird is her first novel.
