In a dying world, love is the ultimate act of rebellion.
They say that before the Fall, men and women were born in roughly equal numbers, but radiation did something to our genes, and now a ratio of three females to twelve males seems like a real stroke of luck.
The human race survives in just a few isolated cities, separated by miles and miles of scorching desert inhabited solely by mutants: the Zendar.
Ashka is a Handmaiden of the Empress and has never been able to be herself under the veil she wears.
Zarek is a warrior, the Prince of the Zendar, and servant to a ruthless tyrant.
Two kindred souls who never should have met.
Two individuals bound by an explosive passion who will stop at nothing to fight an unusual and cruel fate.
Can their love bloom in a barren world governed by merciless laws?
