Carol Award - Finalist 2022, CHRISTY Award - Finalist (print)!!

What if women unraveled the evils of patriarchy?

With men safely ""gentled"" in a worldwide Liberation, the matriarchy of Nedé has risen from the ashes. Seventeen-year-old Reina Pierce has never given a thought to the Brutes of old. Itching to escape her mother's finca--and desperate to keep her training and forbidden friendship a secret--her greatest worry is which Destiny she'll choose on her next birthday. But when she's selected as a candidate for the Succession instead, competing to become Nedé's ninth Matriarch, she discovers their Eden has come at a cost she's not sure she's willing to pay.

Jess Corban's debut novel presents a new twist to the dystopian genre, delivering heart-pounding action, thought-provoking revelations, and a setting as lush as the jungles of Central America.

I first heard about this book a while before I listened to it, and while expected it to be good, I could never have expected such an incredible story. Throughout the whole book I felt so invested, Corbin does an amazing job writing so that you feel as if your there, and that the events in her story have transported you into this unknown, yet intriguing world of Nede. In this book you will find characters that will stay with you long after you finish the last chapter and the lessons they learn are so secretly applicable, that you might just read it again to instill the truths that are found in A Gentle Tyranny. An amazing read I cannot recommended highly enough!
