In Ned�e--a safe haven for women--seventeen-year-old Reina draws strength from a forbidden friendship when torn between her formidable grandmother and her mother as she faces a decision that could change their world. With men safely gentled in a worldwide Liberation, the matriarchy of Ned�e has risen from the ashes. 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 at her next birthday. When she is selected as a candidate for the Succession instead, competing to become Ned�e's ninth Matriarch, she discovers their Eden has come at a cost she is not sure she is willing to pay. -- adapted from jacket
