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.

The earth's resources have been depleted; Faye, sixteen, is sent to a strange, prisonlike boarding school. Faye and her fellow students awaken each morning exhausted, their hands stained a deep red, and with no memory of how they have spent the night. This sci-fi thriller features last-minute revelations and a passionate, if heavy-handed, environmental message. \
