(3) YA Gaia (Birthmarked; Prized), now leader of mostly female Sylum, hopes to establish a new settlement just outside the walls of the Enclave. New Sylum and the Enclave quickly come to violence over sharing resources: water and fertile women with the anti-hemophiliac gene--including Gaia herself. The increasingly precarious environmental and gender concerns of the chilling dystopian world sustain high tension throughout this trilogy-ender.
