Synopsis
On the planet Stratos, human society has been re-engineered so that women reproduce as clones in winter and through sexual reproduction in summer, creating a matriarchal civilization of clone dynasties. Young variant Maia, born of summer mating and thus without a clone family, sets out to find her place in this world, uncovering secrets that could overturn the foundations of Stratoin society.
