Hive is the first in a gripping two-book series by award-winning and international bestselling author A. J. Betts.

All I can tell you is what I remember, in the words that I have. Hayley tends to her bees and follows the rules in the only world she has ever known. Until she witnesses the impossible: a drip from the ceiling. A drip? It doesn't make sense. Yet she hears it, catches it. Tastes it. Curiosity is a hook. What starts as a drip leads to a lie, a death, a boy, a beast and too many awful questions ... Hive is the first in a gripping two-book series by award-winning and international bestselling author A.J. Betts.

'A.J. Betts' Hive carves out a niche through intriguing and original world-building.'
The Sydney Morning Herald

'Betts has created a unique closed world and an appealingly stubborn protagonist who, once she learns to ask questions, refuses to accept answers on faith alone.'
