Description
A dystopian novel set in a world where the Earth has baked and no girls have been born for sixteen years. Karen is the last girl, while her twin brother Steven is gay. Their lives are turned upside down as their father builds a fortress around their home, anticipating a new era of female rule. With women taking control, Steven becomes the target of their attention. Scientists seek to alter him in hopes that he could be the key to saving the world from its current state. In this apocalyptic world, a group of teenagers known as teensquad run the streets, and insects clog the skies. A council of women holds power, and medical intervention may hold the solution to Steven's fate.
