All the Beastly Things, (Audiobook)

<b>In a post-apocalyptic matriarchy that has erased men and capitalism, a young novitiate destined for greatness faces a crisis of faith when her best friend begins receiving mysterious visions of an archangel--setting her on a path to choose between spiritual purity and human desire.</b> <p>The year is 2171, and the Earth is not what it once was. The natural world reigns supreme, wild and ungovernable, after a series of wasting plagues and unmitigated climate disasters, the twin coups of fascism and AI, and a final, catastrophic nuclear fallout. Small monastic communities have emerged from the carnage--self-sufficient, female-only religious utopias governed by a strict codex and surrounded by walls to keep the wilds at bay. The new world is harmonious, and blissfully free from structures of oppression such as hierarchy, capitalism, and time. </p><p> Seventeen-year-old Igraine has never known life beyond the cloistered walls of the Field or seen a human male. Brilliant and devout, she spends her days in the gardens and scriptorium beside her closest companion, Ophelia. Their studies will culminate in twin posts at the Lunar Abbey--a gothic cathedral on the Moon reserved for the most venerated Sisters. </p><p> Their futures fracture when Ophelia begins receiving visions of a mysterious, alluring, and damningly masculine archangel. As doubt spreads and rumors surface about the Order's darker forces, the girls venture beyond the convent's walls and into the wilderness--while navigating the volatility of their deepening bond. </p><p> When Igraine's formidable mentor, Sister Agathe, takes a romantic interest in her, devotion blurs into jealousy and illicit desire. In the aftermath, Igraine must confront her unraveling faith in a system that demands her complete surrender.</p>
