Wither by lauren destefano6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() I started Wither fully expecting to enjoy it. ![]() With the help of Gabriel, a servant Rhine is growing dangerously attracted to, Rhine attempts to break free, in the limited time she has left. Linden's eccentric father is bent on finding an antidote to the genetic virus that is getting closer to taking his son, even if it means collecting corpses in order to test his experiments. ![]() But Rhine has more to contend with than losing her freedom. Despite her husband Linden's genuine love for her, and a tenuous trust among her sister wives, Rhine has one purpose: to escape - to find her twin brother and go home. When sixteen-year-old Rhine Ellery is taken by the Gatherers to become a bride, she enters a world of wealth and privilege. In this bleak landscape, young girls are kidnapped and forced into polygamous marriages to keep the population from dying out. What if you knew exactly when you would die? Thanks to modern science, every human being has become a ticking genetic time bomb - males only live to age twenty-five, and females only live to age twenty. ![]()
