As something of a rebellious soul compared to the other girls in the village, Tierney dreams of a better society in which women are not forced to survive amidst the bitter whims of the men nor pitted against other women. Tierney James is just about to enter her grace year. Only if they survive their grace year will they emerge as pure women. There they must spend an entire year together, using all their magic to survive amidst the harsh elements and the dangerous things lurking outside the fences. At the start of their sixteenth year, all of the town’s young women are transported to an isolated compound deep in the woods. In order to rid themselves of their magic, each girl in the village must participate in the grace year. In Garner County, a seemingly isolated town in the middle of vast wilderness, women are taught that they are magical beings whose eldritch powers are the root of all sin and whose magic can control the actions of men, causing them to do all manner of debauchery.
