Surviving men were reduced to appendages, playthings and breeding tools for the elite, trapped tight by the chains of class and gender. To comply with an arranged political marriage mandated by her clan, Irene, heir to a financial conglomerate, bought Alex, a gravely wounded yet unruly wasteland gladiator, at an underground auction for an astronomical sum.
