REBELWING
This is a witty, romantic, and heartbreaking story of rebellion and resistance in a near-future world ravaged by culture wars.
Business is booming for Prudence Wu, black-market-media smuggler and scholarship student at the prestigious New Columbia Preparatory Academy. Between essays and exams, she spends her breaks sweet-talking border patrol with her best friend, Anabel, in order to sell banned media to the unfortunate citizens stuck under strict corporate rule in the United Continental Confederacy, Inc. Before Pru's birth, a civil war split her home, the Barricade Coalition, from the UCC, and while Pru experiences the benefits of democratic rule, UCC citizens aren't so lucky. But with recent weapons tests, the carefully established peace between the Barricade and the UCC might not last much longer.
And when a drop-off goes awry, Pru narrowly escapes UCC enforcers to find that her rescuer is, of all things, a sentient cybernetic dragon. On the one hand, Pru is lucky not to be in prison, or worse. On the other, the dragon seems to have imprinted on her permanently, which means she has no choice but to be its pilot.
Drawn into a revolution she has no real interest in leading, Pru, Anabel, and friends Alex and Cat become key players in a brewing conflict with the UCC as the corporate government develops advanced weaponry more terrifying and grotesque than Pru could have ever imagined.
Andrea Tang grew up in Princeton, New Jersey, and currently resides in Washington, DC, where she pens fiction by night and collects geopolitical gossip by day. A graduate of Bryn Mawr College and the University of Oxford, she's also a perpetually recovering theater kid, Fulbright scholar, former pentathlete, tae kwon do black belt, and serial dabbler in various martial and movement arts. Among other things, she enjoys superheroes, giant robots, and the endless versatility of pie.
