Two young women. A dis-united Kingdom. Opposing sides in a British civil war.

Sixteen-year-old Bex Ellman has been drafted into an army she doesn't support and a cause she doesn't believe in. Her plan is to keep her head down, and keep herself and her friends safe - until she witnesses an atrocity she can't ignore, and a government conspiracy that threatens lives all over the UK. With her loyalties challenged, Bex must decide who to fight for - and who to leave behind.

Looking for an award-winning dystopia? Prefer die-for-each-other friendships to romance? Like your YA with a relevant political twist? Battle Ground is a friendship-based found-family survival story with a strong female lead, and book one of a gripping near-future dystopian series.

The Battle Ground series is set in a dystopian near-future UK, after Brexit and Scottish independence.

'This series is raising the standard for YA dystopian fiction, and I can't give it less than 5 stars' - AyJayPageFarer Book Blog

Silence. Darkness. My pulse, loud in my ears.

We're under attack. We need to move. We need to get out. Three floors underground in a nuclear bunker - we're safe while no one knows we're here, but if they've found us, we're trapped. One way in, and one way out.

Voices. Sounds. Hammer blows, slamming through the silence.

I force myself to wake up. Open my eyes, push back the blanket, crawl out of bed.

I need to wake the others.

Boots. Armour. Gun.

Time to be brave.
