In this Philip K. Dick Award–winning series, one woman’s
unknowable destiny depends on a bold new step in human
evolution. In the wake of the apocalypse, Flora has come of age in a
highly gendered post-plague society where females have
become a precious, coveted, hunted, and endangered
commodity. But Flora does not participate in the economy
that trades in bodies. An anathema in a world that prizes
procreation above all else, she is an outsider everywhere
she goes, including the thriving all-female city of Shy. Now navigating a blighted landscape, Flora, her friends, and
a sullen young slave she adopts as her own child leave their
oppressive pasts behind to find their place in the world.
They seek refuge aboard a ship where gender is fluid, where
the dynamic is uneasy, and where rumors flow of a bold new
reproductive strategy. When the promise of a miraculous hope for humanity’s future
tears Flora’s makeshift family asunder, she must choose:
protect the safe haven she’s built or risk everything to
defy oppression, whatever its provenance.
