Mirari Vega feels death's chilly breath. A global pathogen has killed every woman in her life and she'll be next. So when her father gives the eighteen-year-old an alternative, she must make an impossible decision - die with a raging fever or climb into the frigid embrace of an experimental cryogenic chamber. She calls it a suicide machine. Her father calls it a chance for her to live again. Neither can imagine the horrors waiting for Mirari when she opens her eyes 12 years later. The world is a violent place without women. Beautiful robots give the men companionship but can't give them children. Mirari's fertility is the ultimate natural resource - a prize every kingdom wants to own. But to crown her queen, they'll have to catch her first. Mirari Vega is no man's pretty princess.
