Description

Eden Newman should mate before her 18th birthday in 6 months or she will be left outside to die in a burning globe. But who'll get her mate-choice when she is cursed with white skin and a sadly reduced mate-price of 15%? In a post apocalyptic, totalitarian, subterranean world where class and elegance are described by opposition to an overheated atmosphere, Edenis coloring manufacturers her as being a person in the cheapest class, a fragile and unpleasant Gem. If perhaps she may mate with a dark skinned Coal in the ruling class, she'll be secure.
