Love doesn't obey preordained rules. Sometimes, social status and
gender mean nothing. The purest of affections can be born between
two people living in different worlds. In a society where women
rule over an enslaved race of men and love between a woman and man
is considered a perversion, Pax's and Prince's union is destined
for a tragic end. Coming from an existence of privilege, Pax has
never endured harshness. She has never had any reason to doubt the
rules Ginecea was built on. Everything changes when she is sent to
spend her summer on a desolate farm and is exposed to the ongoing
brutalities against defenseless men. A wrong turn leads her to
witness Prince's thrashing at the hands of the guards. One look
from him and Pax's perfect life is shattered, the memory of his
dark eyes haunting her night and day. As a pure breed, born to one
of the most prestigious family in Ginecea, she would have never
thought it possible to fall in love with a man. Marked as a sinner,
Pax abjures her ancestry to save Prince's life. She hopes they can
disappear into the desert, but social prejudice and political
schemes give them no respite. The Priestess, the ruler of all
Ginecea, has other plans for Pax Layan and her family. Second in
The Ginecean Chronicles, Pax in the Land of Women is a dystopian
tale set on the planet Ginecea.
