A fantasy novel for young adults. Daria loves Lev, but Lev is going to be sent away into the mysterious Cube with a band of survivors to build a new life. Or that's what they say, because no one has ever come out of the Cube again alive. When Daria is offered the chance, will she dare to join Lev?
Author's note: This book is an experiment on 'pantsing' a novel (as opposed to plotting it) every day (hopefully) until it is done. So I will update it as and when I write anything, no matter how small a section! Expect updates to be short.
Your feedback is welcome, so please leave a comment :-)
If you know a great cover artist who would be happy to make a cover for this book, please PM me. Thanks!

He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone.
