in a society ruled by an oligarchic dictatorship, 99% of the population is enslaved, laboring under the oppressive rule of the wealthy 1%. Cordelia Banks, a woman born into servitude, has spent her entire life in a grueling labor camp, resigned to her fate. But when she is auctioned off in a brutal sale of fertile women—bought and sold like property—her world changes forever.

 

Now, under the control of a new Master, Cordelia must balance the suffocating rules of her enslavement with her burning desire for freedom. Every step is a dangerous game: obey and survive, or resist and suffer. But Cordelia is not alone. In secret, she forms alliances with Keller and Gordon, members of an underground resistance movement fighting to overthrow the dictatorship.

 

As Cordelia struggles to awaken the conscience of her new Master and reclaim her own autonomy, she uncovers a horrifying truth: Keller, one of her closest allies, has a hidden mission—to kill Avery Ellington, one of the regime’s most powerful figures. With enemies all around and the stakes higher than ever, Cordelia must decide whether she can trust those closest to her and whether freedom is worth the ultimate sacrifice.

 

The first book in the Birthright series, Birthright: Acquisition, dives deep into a dystopian world where control is absolute, and humanity is stripped away. Cordelia’s fight for freedom against the forces of classism, body autonomy, and injustice sets the stage for a rebellion that will challenge the very fabric of society.
