Characters typically absent from mainstream fiction take centre stage in this action packed story, bringing their fabulous complexity to the front-lines. After the economic crises of the 2020s, a corner of Europe known only as the State has become a monoculture of gender, sexuality, ability and race. Forced to leave their home, Ash and Pinar, elder leaders of the Resistance, have made a new, quieter life in the forest. But nothing lasts forever. These best friends answer the calls of the past - and the future - to rejoin their community and face their oppressors head on. As a movement, they organise for dignity and self-determination. Together, they fight to survive
