Freezing Reign - L. A. Goff

. .

Résumé :
With humanity on the brink of extinction, one teenage girl could save the species or spark a world war. 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. To crown her queen, they'll have to catch her first. Mirari Vega is no man's pretty princess. Bringing science fiction to a dystopian Texas, Freezing Reign is the first book in the pulse-pounding Reign series by L.A. Goff.
