Overview

For fans of Never Let Me Go, Memoirs of a Geisha, and The Hunger Games franchise. Recommended for readers 15-18+. A decade after the fall of the despotic President Ynna Reinoso Manalo, the Republic of Groves hopes for a brighter future. However, seventeen-year-old Anne Reynes, who recently returned from a reclusive treatment center, is less certain about hers. As Anne manages relationships with her influential family, makes friends, and searches for purpose, she battles recurring nightmares and a growing sense that she's being followed. Her world unravels further as forgotten childhood memories resurface, challenging everything she thought she knew. Intrinsic (Book 1 of The Intrinsic Trilogy) is a provocative coming-of-age political saga that explores the fine line between dynasty and destiny. ""In Intrinsic, France Pinzon reimagines the young-adult dystopian tradition for a new generation-one fluent in technology, yet hungry for meaning. Set in the island-nation of Groves, where fragments of lost memories, state secrets, and ghostly data caches converge, the novel follows Anne Reynes, a teenage survivor haunted by her mother's death and pursued by the digital shadows of a collapsing regime. As Anne's lucid dreams begin to blur with reality, she's drawn into a world of political deception, family intrigue, and awakening conscience-a story about remembering who you are when the world wants you to forget. ""France writes with empathy and intelligence, never sacrificing her humanistic core for spectacle. Beneath the conspiracies and technological intrigue lies a meditation on identity, grief, and the moral courage to see clearly in an age of distortion. She's the rare kind of YA author who treats her readers as thinkers first-curious, sensitive, and alert to the world's complexities. ""Intrinsic is the kind of story I would want my own daughter to read: imaginative yet grounded, emotionally honest, and unafraid to ask difficult questions. France Pinzon has written a book that proves the young-adult novel can still be both thrilling and deeply humane."" -Brock Eldon, author of forthcoming Dominion Ashes: A Book of Decline, The Darkroom Exhibits, The Longing for Form, and The Commonplace Book, Vol. I
