The Unforgiven (The Propagation Project Book 1)

Hazel's mother is dead, and her non-existent father is a drunk. But that’s the least of her problems. She needs to make sure she and her younger sister, Netty, survive life in their Ward. Food is scarce, infertility is rampant, and Hazel’s running out of stuff to pawn. Not to mention the monthly intrusive fertility raids organized by Officials and executed by Pigeons. Every male and female under the age of 35 in her Ward, in every Ward, is registered and tracked just like cattle.

Hazel does what she must to protect Netty, but when they are both reaped, she falls helpless to the Propagation Project. She’s told she must comply to ensure the survival of their world. But it isn’t her world the Officials are trying to preserve—only their own. A world where homosexuality doesn’t contribute to the success of the project and genetic matches are reason enough to have sex with a total stranger to make babies.

Hazel enters into the mission of their lives, and the Propagation Project is just the tip of the Official’s evil plan to weed out everyone in the outside Wards.
