The Slated Trilogy & Prequel, Fated
The Slated trilogy
Slated is set in the UK about forty years in the future: in a world where the UK has left the EU and closed borders. In a world where underage criminals have their memories wiped. In a world where there is a desperate fight for freedom against a brutal government.
Kyla will be part of this fight: she has no choice. But how?
Will she be a freedom fighter, or a terrorist?
Book 1: Slated
Kyla's memory has been erased,
her personality wiped blank,
her memories lost for ever.
She's been Slated.
The government claims she was a terrorist, and that they are giving her a second chance - as long as she plays by their rules. But echoes of the past whisper in Kyla's mind. Someone is lying to her, and nothing is as it seems. Who can she trust in her search for the truth?

Book 3: Shattered
Kyla's memory was erased,

her memories lost for ever.

Set in a disturbing near-future world, this is the conclusion to an engrossing, fast-paced trilogy that establishes Teri Terry as a master thriller writer.
