The government told her she had to become a mother. She had something else in mind.

Obstetrician Ann Sacco lives a quiet life in near-future Seattle, serving the community by helping repopulate the country after a devastating pandemic takes out 95% of the global population. Twenty years following a reproduction mandate that requires all able-bodied adults to contribute to the growth of the population, it’s Ann’s turn to fulfill her civic duty. Having never wanted to be a mother herself, she seeks out an illegal abortion and is thrown into a world of underground insurgency, revolutionary politics, and radical terrorism. Alongside Patrick, the dark, brooding leader of the Seattle insurgency, Ann will uncover devastating truths about the state of reproductive health in the United States and world-altering plots she’s unwittingly taken part in.

For fans of The Handmaid’s Tale, The X-Files, and Mockingjay, this is the first book in a dystopian romance trilogy.
