In a matriarchal society that has lost its males. Those they have are cosseted. Their lives and location closely guarded. Only released to join the breeding program that is tightly monitored.

Aaron is one of those males. Trained and educated to take his place in society. His life carefully planned.

Until his brother runs away and joins the resistance. A group that disapproves of the way males are kept.

Now the schools the boys are kept in are a target. To control the males is to control the population. The easiest way to get the males is to steal them. Aarons future is in jeopardy and the plans made for him will have to adapt.

Join Aaron as he navigates this hostile world, falling in love along the way. Will his hopes and dreams be fulfilled or will he lose it all like he did his brother?

Meet Rita, her world as controlled as his. Turning sixteen she is handed her matching papers. Any romantic notion of falling in love smashed. In that brown envelope is her future while all her dreams crumble to dust.
An audacious kidnap could change all that.

Rita has been moved around while they look for a suitable boy. Now that boy is in her room. To Rita’s surprise he isn’t how she expected a male to be. He is kind and funny. Together they escape freeing the people held with them.

Aaron gets to experience the world through Rita’s eyes. Seeing that the world is broken for her as well.
As a love blossoms. Can it survive such a brutal world?
