MOTHS

For readers of Vox and The Power this high-concept thriller follows Mary as she contemplates her life before men were driven mad by a toxin and society was upended. Now, 40 years later, when men no longer rule, she must decide how far she is willing to go to bring a possible cure to light.

Forty years ago, the world changed. Toxic threads left behind by mutated moths infected every man and boy, killing them quietly in their sleep, or turning them into crazed killers. No one was safe from their psychopathic wrath and no one could reach them. All seemed hopeless.

But humanity, as it does, adapted and society moved on. Now, men are kept in specially treated dust-free facilities for their safety, and are never able to return to the outside. The world is quiet, but secrets are kept safe in whispers.

Very few people remember what life was like before the change, but Mary knows. She had a family. She was happy. This is her story.

A thrilling dystopia, in turns heart-breaking and heart-pounding...
