The year is 2130 AD Women have overthrown the patriarchy, but not in the way you might think. Alpha females oppress and kill males and use beta females as a means of reproduction and to raise their children, but when Alissa Langdon, daughter of a successful businesswoman meets who she is to be married off to, she is struck by how different she is to what she expected and is infatuated by her. When they marry, however, she realises that married life isn't all it's cracked up to be and finds excitement in other areas of life, the most dangerous area for any woman to find it, men.

On the planet of Jerusalem, Science is not just celebrated but entirely necessary to the colonists' continued success. But just because the brilliant minds of Ruth Samuelsdaughter and Martha Thomassdaughter help underpin their way of life, it doesn't mean the men that run the religious colony will grant them free choice over their lives. It's a new planet, but it's the same old patriarchy. Inspired by authors such as Margaret Atwood and John Wyndham, not to mention many women's daily reality, this dystopian tale pits a pair of female friends against the rigid religious structures that would dictate how they live. If they are going to escape it will be on a wing and a prayer. "This story has so much depth, so many nuances, I could write a 1,000 word critical analysis of it. The sheer expanse of the universe created, working out the salient features of a whole new world, an entirely mythical planet - which is so different from our world in some ways and yet so similar in others - is an imaginative feat." - verseandworse2 "Profoundly depressing and deeply enthralling. Something about it reminds me of Seth Dickinson's novels, which I mean as an unrestrained compliment." Enochlesis
