Incarceron is a living prison created by a past king. Finn plans on following in Sapphique’s footsteps, but a few obstacles stand in his way, one of which is the person who overlooks Incarceron: the Warden. According to legend, only one man has ever escaped to the “ Outside”: the mysterious Sapphique. This includes rundown cities, unbridled wilderness, deep chasms and the unknown. Prisoners do not just live in cells but also the world that is Incarceron. Created hundreds of years ago by the wise council of the Sapienti, Incarceron is unlike any prison ever constructed. Seventeen-year-old Finn is convinced he doesn't belong in Incarceron, the endless nightmare of a prison. They are up against impossible odds, but one thing looms above all: Incarceron itself is alive. His link to the Outside, his chance to break free, is Claudia, the warden's daughter, herself determined to escape an arranged marriage. Although he has no memory of his childhood, he is sure he came from Outside. It has been sealed for centuries, and only one man has ever escaped. ĭog Gone note: This book is in excellent condition.Incarceron is a prison so vast that it contains not only cells and corridors, but metal forests, dilapidated cities, and wilderness. And so the plan for Finn's escape is born. But there comes a moment when Finn, inside Incarceron, and Claudia, outside, simultaneously find a device - a crystal key, through which they can talk to each other.

She knows nothing of Incarceron, except that it exists. In the outer world, Claudia, daughter of the Warden of Incarceron, is trapped in her own form of prison - a futuristic world constructed beautifully to look like a past era, an imminent marriage she dreads. A young prisoner, Finn, has haunting visions of an earlier life, and cannot believe he was born here and has always been here. It is a terrifying mix of high technology - a living building which pervades the novel as an ever-watchful, ever-vengeful character, and a typical medieval torture chamber - chains, great halls, dungeons. Incarceron - a futuristic prison, sealed from view, where the descendants of the original prisoners live in a dark world torn by rivalry and savagery.
