For fans of The Hunger Games and Divergent comes a story like no other….
A toxic river divides 19-year-old Violet Bates’ world by gender.
Women rule the East. Men rule the West.
Welcome to the lands of Matrus and Patrus.

To enter the kingdom of Patrus, where men rule and women submit.
Everything about the patriarchy is dangerous for a rebellious girl like Violet. She cannot break the rules if she wishes to stay alive.
