    About this audiobook

    In their world, telling the truth has become the most dangerous crime of all.

    In the near-future United States, a one-child policy is ruthlessly enforced. Everyone follows the Rule of One. But Ava Goodwin, daughter of the head of the Texas Family Planning Division, has a secret—one her mother died to keep and her father has helped to hide for her entire life.

    She has an identical twin sister, Mira.

    For eighteen years Ava and Mira have lived as one, trading places day after day, maintaining an interchangeable existence down to the most telling detail. But when their charade is exposed, their worst nightmare begins. Now they must leave behind the father they love and fight for their lives.

    Branded as traitors, hunted as fugitives, and pushed to discover just how far they’ll go in order to stay alive, Ava and Mira rush headlong into a terrifying unknown.

    Ashley Saunders

    Twin sisters Ashley Saunders and Leslie Saunders are the authors of the Exiles series and The Rule of One, The Rule of Many, and The Rule of All in the dystopian series The Rule of One. The duo honed their love of storytelling in film school at the University of Texas at Austin. After just under a decade penning screenplays and directing commercials, the sisters deliberately stumbled into the world of novel writing. They vow to never leave it. The sisters can be found with their Boston terriers in sunny Los Angeles, exploring hiking trails and drinking entirely too much yerba maté. Visit them at www.thesaunderssisters.com.

      I didn't find it to be like the Hunger Games at all. Story line is completely different. Book one builds and sets up the overall storyline but it's done very well

      One of the worst dystopian books I've read. It is a lack luster, boring, poor imitation of Hunger Games. I did read all of it almost pulled my hair out doing but got through it. But still was not worth it. Now rereading Hunger Games and that is satisfying beyond belief!!!!
