Description
Top 10 finalist in Mark Lawrence's SPFBO 2018
**Revised June 2019 in response to reviewer concerns**
They can take your house, your daughter, whatever they want.
For Ariliah, life under the militarized Hulcondans is one of order and safety. Despite the soldiers' ruthless policies, she trusts their judgment. They alone provide protection from the enemies lurking beyond the city wall.
For her older sister, Rabreah, every glance from a Hulcondan is a threat. Though even a whisper against them is treason worthy of death, Rabreah is determined to end their tyranny. Joining an underground resistance is her only hope - until she realizes she doesn't know the people she's aligned herself with at all. Unsure who to trust but unable to back out, she must work alongside the attractive yet infuriating rebel leader who reminds her far too much of the soldiers she hates.
But with subversive posters appearing throughout the city and people dying on the blade of an unknown assailant, the sisters' world begins to crumble.
And as the line between friend and enemy blurs, both girls must face the truth: everything is about to change.
Sowing is a gritty, slow burn spy thriller set in a dystopian world on the brink of war. Perfect for fans of the characterization and political tension in Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows, Sabaa Tahir's An Ember in the Ashes series, and Pierce Brown's Red Rising saga.
CW: Contains violence (executions, torture, child abuse, implied domestic abuse, off-page infant death, etc.); references/allusions to rape and sexual assault; moments of PTSD; and some language (including in-world racial slurs). Sexual content is limited to brief kissing.
**This series is meant to be read in order.**

About Angie Grigaliunas
Angie Grigaliunas (grig-ah-LOO-nahs) is a part-time normal person and full-time author of fantasy/dystopian young adult books. And also some romance. ("She admits it! Murderer!") She loves Jesus, the woods, and the stars, and has always wanted to be a superhero with a secret identity.
She has completed four books: one about elves that needs a massive revision before it ever sees the light of day, one that is part of her current story but also needs a massive revision to fit a new storyline, and the actual first and second books (Sowing and Quelling) in her dystopian fantasy series (The Purification Era). When she's not writing, she's usually Facebooking - ack! - or thinking about story stuff. Or exercising. Or eating ice cream, because life is short and ice cream is delicious. Despite several of her writing friends claiming she's Canadian, she is not; she lives in Ohio with her dear husband, their goofy dog, and their crazy cats.
