From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Joe Hart.
A mysterious worldwide epidemic reduces the birthrate of female infants
from 50 percent to less than 1 percent. Medical science and governments
around the world scramble in an effort to solve the problem, but
twenty-five years later there is no cure, and an entire generation grows
up with a population of fewer than a thousand women.
Zoey and some of the surviving young women are housed in a scientific
research compound dedicated to determining the cause. For two decades,
she's been isolated from her family, treated as a test subject, and
locked away--told only that the virus has wiped out the rest of the
world's population.
Captivity is the only life Zoey has ever known, and escaping her heavily
armed captors is no easy task, but she's determined to leave before she
is subjected to the next round of tests...a program that no other woman
has ever returned from. Even if she's successful, Zoey has no idea what
she'll encounter in the strange new world beyond the facility's walls.
Winning her freedom will take brutality she never imagined she
possessed, as well as all her strength and cunning--but Zoey is ready
for war.
