Publisher's Synopsis
New York-October 1st, 2078. Seventeen-year-old Eve Atwood had always been the good girl. She'd never questioned the Post-Apocalyptic Laws of the United States of America and for as long as she could think, she trusted President Pierce. But that was before she knew that he'd become the villain in the story of her life. Now Eve's best friend, Theresa Hamilton, is going to be executed during the A-Day celebrations and she knows damn well that it's her fault. There's nothing that she wouldn't do to save her friend, even if that means joining the Godivas, a terror organization that fights for equal rights for women. Little did Eve know that, sometimes, when you fight monsters you risk becoming one. Post-Apocalyptic Laws of the United States of America: "All legislative powers herein shall be vested in the President of the United States of America. He shall never be questioned for he is the alpha and the omega, our rightful leader." "Women shall never speak in public, unless a superior being (man) grants permission. Any violation of this law must be reported to the CIWB (Controlling Instance For Women's Behavior)." "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman at the age of eighteen must be married to a man of her father's choice. Women that can't be placed in a marriage, due to flaws of appearance or character, shall serve the superior community in one of the pleasure facilities of the State."
