Obedience was their first mistake.
Twenty-two-year-old Lilah is the perfect picture of compliance. Locked behind the towering iron walls of the Republic of Ophir, she lowers her gaze, wears her coarse grey shroud, and dutifully drinks the metallic Draft of Serenity every morning. In this oppressive patriarchal dystopia, the toxic elixir acts as a chemical lobotomy, trapping the women in a smiling, dead-eyed fog of absolute submission.
To High Patriarch Gideon, Lilah is his compliant, voiceless Blessed Miracle.
He has no idea what is violently waking up inside her.
The daily poison was meant to suppress their minds, but mixing it with a lifetime of suffocated female rage has triggered a lethal mutation. Lilah's serenity is fracturing. Beneath her skin, a massive, midnight-black timber wolf is tearing at its cage-a beast born of biological horror and desperate vengeance.
When the heavy iron doors lock at dusk, the Patriarchs of Ophir believe they are keeping their women safely insulated from the snowy Wasteland outside. They are wrong. The cage is locked from the inside, and a terrifying apex predator is already hunting in the shadows of the Sanctuary.
The slaughter is about to begin.
The Submission is a claustrophobic psychological thriller and a brutal work of survival horror. A dark, terrifying creature feature wrapped in a relentless story of feminist revenge.
