"One of the best dystopian writers right now, but this Antigone
retelling takes it all to the next level.?
COSMOPOLITAN
Outside the last city on Earth, the planet is a wasteland. Without the
Archive, where the genes of the dead are stored, humanity will end.
Antigone's parents - Oedipus and Jocasta - are dead. Passing into
the Archive should be cause for celebration, but with her militant
uncle Kreon rising to claim her father's vacant throne, all Antigone
feels is rage.
When he welcomes her and her siblings into his mansion, Antigone
sees it for what it really is: a gilded cage, where she is a captive as
well as a guest.
But her uncle will soon learn that no cage is unbreakable. And
neither is he.
