What to expect
Manon Pawlak has just turned eighteen - a debutant at the start of The Virtue Season: a process which will result in a match with a suitable genetic mate.
Her best friend, Agatha, has been decommissioned. Her seizures mean that she has been branded with a scar on the crest of her cheek which will forever sit at the corner of her vision, colouring the world in shades of mauve.
This is the story of their ritual year. And the Council is watching...
Bridgerton meets The Hunger Games with shades of The Handmaid's Tale and 1984

This is L.M. Nathan's debut YA, almost 10 years in the making and inspired by the countryside of rural Lancashire
Featuring the ever-popular BookTok tropes of #forbiddenromance, #friendstolovers and #forcedproximity
Featuring topical themes, including a woman's right to choose, a woman's right to her own body, totalitarianism and how true love endures in even the darkest of places
