Her deepest instincts to serve and sacrifice are now overshadowed by an even deeper desire, a fierce maternal love that will bring her into conflict with her conscience, her heart, her society-and lead her to unthinkable deeds. She also finds her way into the Queen’s inner sanctum, where she discovers mysteries about the hive that are both profound and ominous.īut when Flora breaks the most sacred law of all-daring to challenge the Queen’s fertility-enemies abound, from the fearsome fertility police who enforce the strict social hierarchy to the high priestesses jealously wedded to power.
