A dystopian tale of a power struggle between the sexes in the
post-nuclear future, perfect for readers of Margaret Atwood and
Ursula K. Le Guin. After a nuclear holocaust, women rule the world.
Using advanced technology, they've expelled men from their vast
walled cities to roam the countryside in primitive bands, bringing
them back only for the purpose of loveless reproduction under the
guise of powerful goddesses. When one young woman, Birana,
questions her society's deception, she finds herself exiled among
the very men she has been taught to scorn. She crosses paths with a
hunter, Arvil, and the two grow close as they evade the
ever-threatening female forces and the savage wilderness men. Their
love just might mend their fractured world--if they manage to
survive. Hailed as "one of the genre's best writers" by the
Washington Post Book World, Pamela Sargent is the author of
numerous novels, including Earthseed and Venus of Dreams. The
winner of the Nebula and Locus awards, she has also coauthored
several Star Trek novels with George Zebrowski.
