ONE GIRL. ONE TRIAL. ONE CHANCE TO STOP A WAR.
In the 24th century, Mars stands as a world ruled by women, its people united in peace. For two hundred years, harmony has endured. Now it’s beginning to fracture. A visionary preacher speaks of love and order, while building a world that would enslave every man on Mars.
Sixteen-year-old Xandra Fallow wants no part of it. She has lived her whole life behind high walls, heir to a sovereign family haunted by loss. The outside world is dangerous. She knows this. Yet danger finds her all the same.
When the zealot targets her and threatens to ignite a war that could tear Mars apart, Xandra is forced into the Rites of the Daughter—a perilous passage that many do not survive. To live, she must confront her fears, rely on her brilliant brother, and risk her heart on a boy she cannot have.
A vivid coming-of-age story set in a fractured future, Xandra of Mars is a tale of defiance, destiny, and the spark of rebellion that can change a world.
