The Lost Girls

It has been twenty five years since the Second Civil War nearly destroyed the country. Now, the government has required all citizens to undergo a surgery, known as the Procedure, at the age of fifteen. The Procedure is meant to encourage peace and mediate violent thoughts, but not everyone is so sure of it's true purpose. Five girls-- Shiloh, Nova, Bay, Em, and Rose-- have left their homes and lives behind to avoid the Procedure. They steal from the ruins of the East in order to survive, but in the process, have made themselves into known criminals. They know that they can’t stay hidden forever, and the time for making a plan is running out.
