But what of their sisters left behind? In this highly anticipated sequel, Katherine Forrest tells the story of a group of women called Unity, who have gone into hiding to escape the tyrannical rule of dictator Theo Zedera, known as Zed, who is seeking the women with ruthless determination. The women, led by Africa Contrera, are struggling to build a world safe for women, but Africa is haunted by her past, a past in which she and Zed were close friends, a past where she trusted him and shared the deadly knowledge he now uses to hunt her. Just as she did eighteen years ago, Katherine Forrest has created a brilliant and breathtaking saga of a divided society and the rebels courageous enough to withstand - and change - this brutal new world.
