Author C.J. Milacci discusses the first two books in her Talionis series: Recruit of Talionis and Fugitive of Talionis. These YA sci fi dystopian novels feature main character Bria, a young woman haunted by personal tragedy, who is kidnapped to become a recruit in an army of secret soldiers and forced to fight in a war that she wants no part of. C.J. began with a question: What would happen if America fell like Rome did, while the rest of the world moved on and abandoned the survivors of America's collapse? From C.J.'s answer to that question, the Talionis novels were born.
