"I am 17.

In age and number. I am the 17th and last wife of Devon Chris. My job is simple: look pretty, pleasure him and give him heirs.  

I am Remedy Wilkes and I am trapped."

The year is 2134 and women's role in society has seemingly taken a step back. The list of jobs awarded to females is small: maids, escorts, teachers and the job of being a wife. 

There is no limit on the number of spouses a man can take and arranged marriages are commonplace in every walk of life. Young, Remedy Wilkes is one of the many wives of Devon Chris and his favorite. But, her life is filled with envious sister wives, unwanted attention from her husband and a harbored love for another.All Rights Reserved

In a society rebuilt from the ashes of the Great War perfection isn't just expected-it's law. Every woman turning 20 is entered into The Marriage Process: a government-mandated matchmaking ritual where four men are hand selected by the government to ensure that their children would be perfect in the new society. It's a tradition that has never failed-until the arrival of Juniper Burks. Labeled a government mistake since birth and abandoned by her own parents, Juniper never thought she'd have to partake in the government-issued love game. She believed that since she was unwanted by the people who were suppose to love her unconditionally, so much so that they left, she would simple be exempt from participation. After all, no one would want her failed genes reproducing in society bent on becoming the strongest once again. But Juniper is dead wrong. Not only is she brought into the process, she is assigned the top four, most elite men to win her hand. Is this her redemption... or has the government issued another experiment bound to fail?
