Striking out into the wasteland with nothing but her baby sister, a handful of supplies, and a rumor to guide her, sixteen-year-old midwife Gaia Stone survives only to be captured by the people of Sylum, a dystopian society where women rule the men who drastically outnumber them, and a kiss is a crime.

Why I can’t wait!: I really, really liked the first book and I cannot wait to dive back into that wonderful world. Also I really like dystopian fiction and this is one of the best series for that!
We haven't read Birthmarked but both books sound great!
