Episode 492 - AJ Whitney - Sovereign, When Your Number is Up - Orphans Face A Dire Fate

AJ Whitney is a young adult author living in the Kansas City metro with her husband of nearly 20 years and two teenagers. She is also a high school counselor, dubbed as “the punk rock school counselor.” Apart from books, which are her oldest love, she also enjoys making and listening to music, befriending every animal imaginable, playing board games, and getting sucked into D&D campaigns against her will.

Book One of AJ’s speculative / dystopian series Sovereign is expected in 2025. She also writes horror, thrillers, fantasy, and dark contemporary fiction. When reading an AJ Whitney book, expect a page-turner with twists, cliffhangers, and dark surprises.

Book - Soverign - Number 332 is living to be sacrificed.

A teen with no name, she'll take part in the Sending alongside nine other orphans after the Festival.

They will be left in the Fields and taken by the Sovereign as gifts, and the town will be blessed with a decade of bountiful harvests - same as the past three centuries.

But after so long, even the town elders begin questioning the decennial Sending and the very existence of the Sovereign.

They've all forgotten about the gray-haired woman who saw everything. The rotten crops. The starvation. The message scrawled in the barren Fields.

Every 10 years.
