To avert disaster, Renate must secure a coveted lead role in the mission to the planet's surface. And on that planet, Adya of Saburra, First of Her Name, the Last Subcreator of the realm of Asperia, she who wields the very power of the Gods, is faced with an altogether unusual challenge that will test her adherence to the Third Law. Little does she know it will lead to the collapse of an entire culture, bringing her world to the brink of destruction. They are two women from vastly different worlds that are destined to collide, the fates of many in their hands...

A futuristic dystopian society devoted to the continuation of mankind. Two stubborn boys. One pre-determined destiny neither have any control over... Shay Arden has waited his entire life for the Crux Year-the year when sixteen-year-old boys become men and are introduced to their future husbands. After the 2X virus eliminated every last female on the planet twenty years ago, it was up to the male species to ensure the continuity of human life. Science, technology, and the will to multiply, despite the odds, has made this possible. And Shay can't wait. Love. Marriage. A family. He wants it all. Nothing will stop him from getting it. But when Shay learns his match is the most maddening, rude, and obnoxious boy he knows, his dreams quickly become a nightmare. There has to be a glitch. Some sort of mistake. He can't marry Royal Ever. Never. Royal is his enemy. A rule-breaker with an attitude problem. Incredibly hot, but also the absolute worst. They got it wrong and Shay will do whatever it takes to prove it. He won't accept his fate without a fight. His digging, though, brings the fight to his doorstep. It's ugly and terrifying. Some secrets, if uncovered, could ruin those in power and they'll do anything to keep them hidden. Even if that means eliminating anyone who finds out...like Shay. If he tells those he loves and cares about, they could be in danger too. No one can help Shay except the royal pain in his rear... His future husband.
