This the story of the untapped power of female rage.
A clash between “The Power” and “The Handmaid’s Tale” with an undertone of magical realism and all-out feminism.
The mass Dragoning of 1955 turned the world upside down when thousands of women spontaneously turned into fire-breathing, winged dragons. How will the patriarchy handle such a catastrophe? If you’re a woman reading this book, get ready to rage.
