The Golden Cage: A Dystopian Novel

Kate L. Mary

From an award-winning author and master of world building...

Centuries after the Cutoff, the secluded island of Sansara has perfected the roles of women. All girls attend the Institute where they are ranked, judged, trained, and their paths are chosen for them.

Elora’s destiny is to rise to the top. Rose wants to make her family proud. Odette dreams of finding happiness. But in a society that eats women alive one hope at a time, even dreams can turn out to be bitter fruit.

All are trapped in a system that values their appearances, not who they are. Will they be crushed by the machine that oppresses them, or will they dare to break free and live on their own terms?

Perfect for fans of The Handmaid's Tale, The Testaments, Station Eleven, The Power, and Vox, this heartbreaking tale of friendship, love and bravery will keep you turning pages!

Trigger Warning: This book deals with the subject of rape and domestic abuse and may be disturbing to some readers.
