To top it off there is a superb villain in Housemaster Vaughn, you will hate him. Into the plot comes a male servant of Linden’s called Gabriel and this provides the love story in a clever plot. Rhine wants to escape back to her twin brother Rowan but will she be able to? Rhine resists Linden by adopting the stance “you can trap more things with honey than you can with vinegar”. Linden marries all three and keeps them imprisoned in an amazing property with the intention of breeding with all of them. Rhine is 16 years old and is captured and purchased by Linden along with two other girls Cecily and Jenna. The rich employ “Gatherers” to hunt young girls for breeding purposes to secure survival of the species and of their own property. Unfortunately their children and their children’s children suffer from an incurable virus that limits a males life span to 25 years and a female life span to 20 years. This generation still exist and are healthy and robust. Seventy years earlier scientists created a perfect generation free from diseases and allergies. The background to this first in a series is a post- holocaust world in which the U.S.A survives but it is a changed world.
