They believed DAEIOS would be a safe haven. They were wrong. Fleeing apocalyptic weather, a young survivalist and her family seek safety deep underground. But a new danger awaits them. When the leaders of the shelter announce their plans to repopulate the earth using all fertile females, Shea knows she will be forced to become a breeder. Horrified at her impending fate, Shea must make the gut-wrenching decision whether to breed with an elderly, sadistic man and bear his child, or to fight the breeding, knowing that defiance will endanger her life and that of those she loves most. A dystopian thriller with overtones of The Handmaid’s Tale, Shea’s chilling story will appeal to readers with an interest in family and survival.
Colleen Eccles Penor: “I can't begin to express how thankful I am to have discovered, and worked with, Bryony! She is professional, thorough, passionate, and a great communicator. She was invested in DAEIOS before she even saw it. She made me feel like I am special, and that my manuscript is, too. She has eagle eyes and did the "picking apart" that I needed in my final draft. Although we are in different time zones by eight hours, she was very prompt and thoughtful in her replies to my questions. She has been tough on my manuscript, which is what I wanted. Yet she explains and includes references for her suggestions so I can understand her thought processes or research that brought her to her conclusions, and in a tactful and kind manner. Bryony taught me to think like an editor, and her ghostwriting abilities are an added bonus. She is one of my most ardent cheerleaders, and I would recommend her to anyone for any service.”
