Amy A. Bartol’s Secondborn series is a dystopian trilogy. Secondborn (2017) is set in a society where birth order determines one’s place. Traitor Born (2018) and Rebel Born (2019) continue the story.
In this world, firstborn children are prized while secondborns are treated as expendable. The protagonist, Roselle St. Sismode, is a secondborn who gets pulled into a rebellion against the ruling class. Traitor Born raises the stakes as allegiances shift, and Rebel Born concludes the conflict. Bartol is also known for the Premonition series, and readers who enjoy her blend of romance and genre fiction will find similar strengths here. The trilogy was published by 47North, Amazon’s science fiction imprint.
