"Dystopia with a heart. I loved it." - Best-selling author, Stephanie Butland (The Lost For Words Bookshop)

"This feminist story delivers an indelible hero and a powerful, timely message." - Kirkus Reviews

In this world, a miscarriage is a crime, and a grieving woman is sentenced to nine years in prison for it.

Abaddon Ordell is a teacher, fighter, sister, and wife turned prisoner. In the wake of a devastating miscarriage-a crime in this era-Abaddon is cruelly handed over to the law and condemned to nine years in the brutal Dream Stone prison.

Hemmed in by aggressive inmates, guards steeped in misogyny, and a warden whose sympathy is nothing but a sham, she grapples with her consuming grief and a deep rage over the oppressive forces that placed her in prison to begin with.

Just when all seems lost, an unexpected female ally offers her the strength and love she needs to endure this darkness, but trusting her could be the best thing for her heart, or the deadliest.

As the dangers of Dream Stone escalate, Abaddon plots to assassinate those at the heart of the oppressive regime. If Abaddon survives Dream Stone, she becomes proof the system can be broken. But if she fails, she'll never have the chance to dismantle the regime that put her there.

For readers of female rage books and sapphic dystopian romance books, and anyone gripped by Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" and Hillary Jordan's "When She Woke."
