## Synopsis

Gilead endures, four years after the War of Massachusetts, and a new generation has never known anything else. Sixteen-year-old Agnes, cherished daughter of a powerful commander, is groomed at Aunt Lydia's school to become a wife; Daisy, a caustic teenager raised beyond the border, crashes into that world carrying secrets that could shake the regime.
