Sequel to the award-winning World of She.

World of She introduced a world in which the survivors of the apocalypse were forced to adapt to a mysterious ‘Inversion’ in offspring. Females (She) now grow larger than males, and a female-dominated society has evolved.
Since the fall of the last patriarchy, the laws of the ForeMothers have kept men subservient and powerless. Kāya, throughout her years as an elite enforcer, felt justified in upholding these laws – until she let the gentle freeman, Tye, closer than she'd let any man before.
Having uncovered a shocking historical revelation, Kāya holds the key to moving their society toward a new era of inclusion. But those desperate to stop change are gaining power and closing in with deadly intent, determined to silence all opposition. With her society on the brink of falling into the clutches of a brutal dictator, Kaya faces a death-match she can’t win. Tye will give his life for her—unless she can stop him. But duty and love both demand sacrifice …
