What if women could unravel the evils of patriarchy? With men safely 'gentled' in a worldwide Liberation, the matriarchy of Nede has risen from the ashes. But can women wield sole power without being corrupted themselves? Seventeen-year-old Raina Pierce has never given a thought to the Brutes of old. Free to train for the Alexia at her mother's finca-and keep her forbidden friendship a secret-her greatest worry is which Destiny she'll choose at her next birthday. But when she's selected as a candidate for the Succession instead, competing to become Nede's ninth Matriarch, she discovers their Eden has come at a cost she's not sure she's willing to pay. Jess Corban's debut novel presents a new twist to the dystopian genre, delivering thought-provoking action, a slow-burn romance, and a setting as lush as the jungles of Central America.
