Samenvatting:

The world didn't end all at once but drip by drip...
Manon Pawlak has just turned eighteen - a debutant at the start of The Virtue Season: a process which will result in a match with a suitable genetic mate.

Her best friend, Agatha, has been decommissioned. Her seizures mean that she has been branded with a scar on the crest of her cheek which will forever sit at the corner of her vision, colouring the world in shades of mauve.

This is the story of their ritual year. And the Council is watching...
