The Escape
A FORBIDDEN LOVE. A BROKEN HEART. A DARING ESCAPE. A MIND BLOWING TWIST.
Womankind has banded together to make the Planet Venus in the seventieth century both a technological marvel and cultural nightmare. While women are revered and placed on the highest of pedestals, men are kept in bondage, doomed to a future of abuse and servitude.
Love between men and women is strictly forbidden, punishable by mutilation or death.
Although she serves on the highest council on the planet, Empress Terra is willing to risk her life for the scorching love of her slave Nic. Her dreams of escape are given wings when her best friend's slave runs away, igniting a chain of events that will bring them to the deadliest place of all, the forbidden planet, Earth.
Flung back through time, they find themselves in the middle of The American Civil War, where Terra's skin puts her in grave danger. As they struggle to understand this new planet, and this thing called race, peril awaits them at every turn, and to keep alive they must once again escape.
Perfect for readers of Margaret Atwood, Pamela Sargent, and Ursula K. Le Guin. Buy The Escape now.

A well-written story of a forbidden love between Empress Terra and her slave Nic. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This tells the story of women who have lost their feelings for others and are the rulers of Planet Venus and men are slaves. A story I liked reading.
