Shawn Walsh wakes up three inches tall in a world that no longer belongs to men.
A shrinking pandemic has remade society. Women hold the power. Men are registered, claimed, traded, protected, displayed — or lost. And Shawn has no owner.
That makes him valuable.
His ex-wife wants him back. The courts want to classify him. A corporate conspiracy wants to bury him as evidence. A hidden network wants to use his voice before he disappears. And Mara Voss, the woman who finds him first, may be the most dangerous claimant of all.
Every hand that reaches for Shawn claims it is trying to save him. But in this world, salvation has paperwork. And an unclaimed man is not free. He is waiting to be taken.
