The Virtue Season
L.M. Nathan
Perfect for those of you who are looking for something to fill that Hunger Games & Bridgerton gap! The dystopian book you never knew you needed.
The people of Calde Valley are watched by The Council, everyone has their place and no genetic flaws are allowed. As a result all debutants are matched with a suitable genetic mate, they have the opportunity to nominate a mate but the final decision is down to the Council.
Manon Pawlak is a debutant at the start of The Virtue Season; her best friend Agatha has seizures so is flawed so has been sterilised and branded, or decommissioned. As you read on, you get drawn into the feelings of helplessness and desperation. Can love ever prevail in such a society? Would the human race ever be truly saved by this?
A short, gripping read.
