Publisher's Synopsis
From the ruins of the socially unjust Old World, the Great X-Society rose to victoriously raise silenced voices over the myopic ruling classes. Indisputable in its eternal power and righteous ideology, the X-Society steered civilisation from anarchy, transferring power into the hands of the disenfranchised minority. X-Cellix Laboratories, who masterfully pioneered Two-Cell Hybridisation to achieve their foremothers' vision, bestows the Irrefutable Verdict, thereby granting the status Matriarch or Non-Matriarch. With the advent of Two-Cell technology for procreation, now only daughters are raised by their ordained mothers, rendering belligerent males obsolete.On her eighteenth birthday, Abigail has prepared her entire life for the Irrefutable Verdict. To become a Matriarch commands respect, affords all opportunities the X-Society offers, and permits the most important right of all: to bear a daughter. Having been raised to embrace the virtuous dogma of the seven tenets, Abigail's future is all but secured as she seeks to make her mother proud. But unforeseen forces are at play, which stem from a deep rivalry existing long before she was born.The infallible X-Society hides a darker side, one that Abigail will soon discover.
