BURNED
by G.K. Lamb
Einsam burns.
Fowler's coup against the Caretakers' has plunged the Great Society into civil war. With the veneer of peace shattered, violence is spiraling out of control.
The Great Society teeters on the brink of collapse.
Fleeing Einsam with her surviving companions, seventeen-year-old Evelyn Brennan carries evidence of the Caretaker's heinous crimes. If she can find a way of smuggling it out of the country, she may be able to rally the world to intervene and stem the violence.
But hunted by enemies and haunted by the blood on her hands, Evelyn must strike an unsavory bargain to keep her and her friends one step ahead of the flames.
“I loved the first book, and the second is even better and more terrifying!
The perfect sequel to the page-turner Filtered.”

About G.K.
How we identify ourselves, interact with the world, and behave with one another are all mediated through story. Stories are our window onto the world.
From childhood, I’ve used writing as my primary tool for reckoning with the intangible and overwhelming challenges of life. Fiction allows me to carve out a slice of reality, abstract it, grapple with it, and ultimately digest it in the hopes of becoming a better person than I was the day before.
I enjoy telling stories in whichever medium cuts to the heart of things the cleanest. Filmmaking and documentary are dear to my heart and I’ll be the first to admit that the cinematic lens heavily colors my writing.
I hope you enjoy spending time with my stories as much as I did making them.
What People Are Saying
“I regret my initial write-off of G.K. Lamb's first novel as "just another" YA-targeted story. Filtered was engaging and well-crafted, and at the end of the day it was simply a good read.”
— The Warbler Books
“Terrifying, wonderful and an absolute page-turner! Filtered is a breath of fresh air in the dystopian genre.”
— Christina de Vries Reedsy Discovery
“The result of reading a book like G.K. Lambs’s Filtered is not only to leave entertained, but also educated ... Filtered provides young readers an intricate look at the results of environmental collapse through a character they will want to follow anywhere.”
