Du wachst in einem Komplex mitten in der Wüste auf, zusammen mit neun anderen Frauen. Ihr seid alle jung, alle schön, alle darauf aus, der erdrückenden Armut, politischen Unruhen und Umweltkatastrophen der Außenwelt zu entkommen. Euch wird klar, dass Kameras jede eurer Bewegungen verfolgen und an Millionen von Reality-TV-Fans übertragen. Bald werden zehn Männer zu Fuß ankommen – wenn sie die Reise alle überleben. Was müsst ihr tun, um zu gewinnen? Und was passiert mit den Verlierern? LORD OF THE FLIES trifft auf LOVE ISLAND in diesem explosiven, süchtig machenden Debütroman, so bingeable wie das beste Reality-TV, mit dunklen Untertönen literarischer Dystopie und konsumkritischer Satire.

Nothing to lose. Everything to gain. Winner takes all. Lily—a bored, beautiful twentysomething—wakes up on a remote desert compound alongside nineteen other contestants on a popular reality TV show. To win, she must outlast her housemates while competing in challenges for luxury rewards, such as champagne and lipstick, and communal necessities to outfit their new home, like food, appliances, and a front door. The cameras are catching all her angles, good and bad, but Lily has no desire to leave: Why would she, when the world outside is falling apart? As the competition intensifies, intimacy between the players deepens, and it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish between desire and desperation. When the producers raise the stakes, forcing contestants into upsetting, even dangerous situations, the line between playing the game and surviving it begins to blur. If Lily makes it to the end, she'll receive prizes beyond her wildest dreams—but what will she have to do to win? Addictive and prescient, The Compound is an explosive debut from a major new voice in fiction and will linger in your mind long after the game ends.
