Step into the unknown — join our speculative fiction book club for bold ideas, wild worlds, and unforgettable journeys! This month's title is "The First Sister" by Linden A. Lewis.

This is a group for speculative fiction fans (science fiction/fantasy) who like to read and discuss genre literature. Each month, we'll have a discussion about a book, either a new release or an older book (but ideally something that most people haven't read yet), that we've read before meeting.

"The First Sister" by Linden A. Lewis.

"A Sisterhood priestess whose soldiers own the rights to her body confronts a difficult choice between duty and her heart, while an elite Venus soldier questions his allegiances when he is ordered to kill his former partner." - NoveList Plus.
