Ruby Coene

Ruby Coene has her own practice in Utrecht, where she works as a child and adolescent therapist. In addition to her work, she loves reading, traveling, and writing fiction. Her debut Sahana is a gritty YA dystopian novel about finding hope in the darkest of times, and her sophomore YA novel Wallbound was favorably received by bloggers and librarians in the Netherlands under its original Dutch title Muurvast. She also writes contemporary fantasy books for children.

Arrested for trespassing, sixteen-year-old Sin finds herself trapped in the Hangar, a brutal reflection zone for rebellious girls.

What the president calls an opportunity for redemption is nothing like its promotional videos. Inside, there are no rules—only a ruthless hierarchy led by long-term inmates.

But everything changes with the arrival of Frankie, a new girl who defies the president’s system and ignores the long-term inmates’ rules. Her outspoken nature ignites a spark within Sin, and together, they devise a plan to break free from the Hangar.

Wallbound by Ruby Coene, originally published in Dutch as Muurvast, is a gritty dystopian novel that explores human resilience and the fight for freedom in an unjust world.
