    About this audiobook

    Carol Award - Finalist 2022, CHRISTY Award - Finalist (print)!!

    What if women unraveled the evils of patriarchy?

    With men safely "gentled" in a worldwide Liberation, the matriarchy of Nedé has risen from the ashes. Seventeen-year-old Reina Pierce has never given a thought to the Brutes of old. Itching to escape her mother's finca--and desperate to keep her training and forbidden friendship a secret--her greatest worry is which Destiny she'll choose on her next birthday. But when she's selected as a candidate for the Succession instead, competing to become Nedé'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 heart-pounding action, thought-provoking revelations, and a setting as lush as the jungles of Central America.

      Decent story. Interesting nod to WoT and the “gentling” of men.
      Narrator was terrible but there were a hand full of word pronunciations that jarred. Dock-ill instead of docile is just one.
      Over all was a interesting story.
