Rex Ripley wakes up on the shore of a mysterious island with no memory of how he got there–or even who he is. His only clue is his name etched into a silver bracelet on his wrist.
Soon, he finds others—boys like him, stranded, confused, and desperate for answers. Together, they become The Banded.
The wilderness is unforgiving. Food is scarce. Shelter is never guaranteed. But surviving the island is only the beginning.
With danger closing in and trust tested at every turn, Rex must learn what it means to lead. Because if The Banded want to escape, they’ll have to survive the wild, uncover the truth, and reclaim their memories before the island breaks them.
