Author of Literary Speculative Fiction
You don’t start a revolution. It starts inside you.Sofia Rian prides herself on doing the right thing. Work hard. Contribute to society. Follow the rules, even when they’re written by monsters wearing the faces of men.But when she discovers she’s pregnant — with a child that is something more than human — Sofia is forced to reckon with the system she’s helped uphold and the full cost of complicity.As rebellion stirs and her choices begin to ripple outward, Sofia must decide between survival and that most dangerous of dreams: the promise of a better world.For fans of Octavia Butler, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Emily St. John Mandel, this is a bold and unflinching speculative fiction debut about power, compromise, and what it means to be human.
