Thanks to modern science, every human being has
become a ticking genetic time bomb—males only
live to age twenty-five, and females only live to age twenty.
In this bleak landscape, young girls are kidnapped and

When sixteen-year-old Rhine Ellery is taken by the
Gatherers to become a bride, she enters a world of wealth
and privilege. Despite her husband Linden’s genuine love
for her, and a tenuous trust among her sister wives, Rhine
has one purpose: to escape—to find her twin brother and
go home.

But Rhine has more to contend with than losing her
freedom. Linden’s eccentric father is bent on finding an
antidote to the genetic virus that is getting closer to taking
his son, even if it means collecting corpses in order to test
his experiments. With the help of Gabriel, a servant she
trusts, Rhine attempts to break free, in the limted time
she has left.
