(4) YA Chemical Garden Trilogy series. In a future where men die by age twenty-five and women by age twenty, Rhine is kidnapped and sold as an unwilling wife/breeder to wealthy Linden. Rhine, plotting her escape, reluctantly grows close to her "sister wives," her attendants, and even to Linden. Rhine's relationships with the other young women feel authentic, but her implausible attachment to her captor adds forced romantic tension.
