    About this ebook

    IN THE NEAR FUTURE, A VIRUS WILL DRIVE HUMANKIND TO THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION. WITH THE ILLNESS SPREADING FASTER THAN ATTEMPTS TO CONTROL IT AND SOCIETY COLLAPSING, THE LAST SURVIVING CITY WILL BECOME A BEACON OF HOPE FOR SURVIVORS.

    Walled off from the outside world, this city is christened Oasis.

    Governing on a promise to protect its citizens from infection at all costs, the government of Oasis begins to impose its vision of the perfect society. Every aspect of life is controlled, and the city begins to take on a new, sinister shape.

    Born into this world is Quincy Emerson, a resident of the Outer Sector Dorms, brutal housing institutions reserved for those judged at risk of infection. Beyond the walls of Oasis, however, something is stirring, and events are about to overtake Quincy. Her fate, it turns out, may not be written in her genes.

    A thrilling dystopian YA novel from prodigious Irish teenager Eilís Barrett, Oasis is an epic adventure into a bleak future in which freedom may turn out to be just another cage.

From a young age, Eilís had a lot of freedom regarding how she spent her time and was encouraged to do what she was good at.With an insatiable imagination, Eilís watched countless nature documentaries, taught herself to play the piano and devised complicated imaginary games that could go on for weeks. But there was one place where she knew she truly belonged … between the pages of a book. And it wasn’t long before her own stories made it onto paper, too.At the age of 12, Eilís decided that she was going to take writing seriously. Within two years she had written two full-length novels. At the age of 15, Eilís signed a book deal with Gill Books.Eilís recently spoke at Eason’s inaugural Irish YA convention, and was honoured by Irish Tatler as a Future Maker, one of the young women they believe have the brilliance to shape the next era.
