A virus rewrote the rules. She plans to break them.
In Galex, survival has a price.
A deadly virus targeting the Y chromosome has changed humanity forever. The surviving Xs rule the city. The Ys who remain are controlled, numbered and forbidden from forming relationships with them. Beyond the walls, mutated Ys have become something else entirely: Saurians.
Cara is a City Protector, trained to defend Galex and enforce its laws. But she's hiding a secret that could destroy everything she has worked for. She's in love with Brown - a Y she is supposed to control.
As the threat outside the city grows and Cara's sister Myla tightens her grip on those within it, Cara discovers just how far Galex will go to ensure its survival.
Now she must decide where her loyalty lies - with her sister, her city, or the man she was never supposed to love.
When survival is gendered, love becomes a rebellion.
Mutate is the first book in The Chromosome Trilogy, a YA dystopian series about power, prejudice, identity and forbidden love.
