(3) YA Centuries after a plague ravaged Earth's colony on planet Gabriel, two groups remain: scavenging Citizens and self-quarantined Curadores. Exiled for contraband, Citizen Leica finds a potentially world-saving shuttle. When the plague returns, Leica goes undercover as Curador Edison's Kisaeng (concubine), creating revolution from within the Dome. Etienne's dystopic loose reimagining of the Grimms' "Fitcher's Bird" is full of surprises, diversity, and female empowerment.
