YA
Apprentice midwife Gaia (Birthmarked) escaped the totalitarian Enclave with her baby sister Maya. Now living in female-ruled Sylum, Gaia tries to adapt to unyielding gender roles while weighing two potential romances and researching the infertility of Sylum men. The fresh dystopian premise of the first volume takes on a new, equally compelling aspect here, with environmental concerns at the forefront.
