Striking out into the wasteland with nothing but her baby sister, a handful of supplies, and a rumor to guide her, sixteen-year-old midwife Gaia Stone survives, only to be captured by the people of Sylum, a dystopian society where women rule the men who drastically outnumber them, and a kiss is a crime. In order to see her sister again, Gaia must submit to their strict social code and the oppressive rules of Matrarc Olivia. Meanwhile, two brothers claim her attention as they attempt to understand the environmental trap that keeps the people of Sylum captive, and suddenly Gaia must contend with the exciting, uncomfortable, and altogether new feeling of being desired.
But when someone from her past shows up, Gaia discovers that survival alone is not enough and that justice requires sacrifice.

I loved “Birthmarked” so much and I think I might love “Prized” even more. Gaia is a lovely character. Sylum was a very interesting community and I hated the Matrarc with my all my heart. I was actually happy when she finally died, because I really disliked her. That's a good sign though, because the book has to be quite good for me to develop such strong feelings towards a character. The love square was a bit too much though. Leon is not my favourite, I prefered Will.
