Available in EPUB, MOBI, and PDF formats. Read on your Kindle, phone, tablet, computer and more

In a world where women are measured and ranked, survival is a cruel lottery. Nines and Tens are used to breed. Ones and Twos are discarded. The rest are sold as mates to a society that sees them as property. Nine’s life was defined by her role as a breeder—until a single birth left her infertile and cast out. Sarah has lived under the rules, forbidden from having children—but now she carries a life that could cost her everything. Outcasts in a world that refuses to protect them, the two women must rely on each other to survive. Hunted by the State, Nine and Sarah forge a bond born of necessity that changes everything they thought they knew. But as they steel themselves for the inevitable, fate steps in and the women are forced to face the price of their oath.
