Escape from Media: Where Magic is Forbidden and Love is Dangerous by Brandy Stoker plunges readers into a gripping dystopian fantasy world where survival is a daily battle and love is the most dangerous rebellion of all.In the tightly controlled city of Media, magic is forbidden—its discovery punishable by death. Citizens live under constant surveillance, and fear is the government’s greatest weapon. Eleven-year-old Ellie Neldoreth knows the risks but cannot always control the hidden power burning inside her. When her magic is accidentally revealed, Ellie’s world collapses in an instant, and she and her mother, Malin, are thrust into a desperate fight for their lives.Malin, once a respected doctor, has her own secrets. Long suppressed, her own latent magic reawakens under the strain of survival. As mother and daughter flee the only life they’ve ever known, they are hunted by the ruthless Enforcers of Media, a brutal force dedicated to wiping out anything—or anyone—who threatens the regime’s stranglehold on power.Their path crosses with Will Hawkson, a rogue smuggler with scars of his own. Haunted by a devastating past and hardened by a life on the run, Will sees a reflection of his lost hopes in Ellie—and a spark of something deeper in Malin. As the trio’s fates intertwine, they must navigate a world of underground rebels, treacherous betrayals, and forbidden magic that could either save them or doom them.The story masterfully weaves themes of found family, hidden strength, and slow-burn romance against a backdrop of high-stakes rebellion. Stoker creates an intricate world where magic and technology clash, and where the most powerful forces are often those hidden deep within the heart. Ellie’s journey is not just one of survival, but of claiming her identity and power in a world determined to erase it.*Escape from Media* is a powerful opening to the Aloria/Media series, offering richly developed characters, heart-pounding action, and emotional depth.
