Pride on the Page feature number 5! Throughout Pride Month we will be spotlighting Q***r stories and voices from Book*hug’s catalogue!

Today’s feature is Disobedience by Daniel Sarah Karasik!

Shael lives in a vast prison camp, a monstrosity developed after centuries of warfare and environmental catastrophe. As a young transfeminine person, they risk abject violence if their identity and love affair with Coe, an insurrectionary activist, are discovered. But desire and rebellion flare, and soon Shael escapes to Riverwish, a settlement attempting to forge a new way of living that counters the camp’s repression.
