About the story

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.
