Perfect for you if...

  • You loved The Handmaid's Tale and want that same suffocating dread mixed with maternal stakes that actually matter.
  • You're drawn to speculative fiction that explores the ethics of population control and what we'd sacrifice for family.
  • You appreciate dark, uncompromising storytelling that doesn't shy away from the moral horror of its own premise.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need hope or redemptive arcs to enjoy a story. This is bleak throughout.
  • You're sensitive to themes of abortion, miscarriage, or self-harm. The book explicitly contains all three.
  • You prefer fast-paced thrillers. This is character-driven and claustrophobic rather than action-heavy.

About this book

In a world where the global population has reached twenty billion, governments have enacted a law requiring that for every child born, one life must be sacrificed. Mae discovers she is pregnant in this society, where fertile women are viewed as a nuisance and children are considered a burden. As her pregnancy becomes harder to hide, Mae faces an impossible choice: find someone willing to donate their life to save her unborn child, or attempt to keep her baby secret. However, in a world filled with spies, secrets are difficult to maintain. The novel explores how far someone will go to protect their family when the cost is another person's life. This is the first book in The Eyes Forward Series. The novel contains references to abortion, miscarriage, and self-harm.
