In City of Beasts, fees and beasts live separately. The division of the sexes has kept their world peaceful for seventeen years. Glori Rhodes, like most fees her age, adores her neighborhood’s abandoned Costco, can bench her body weight, and knew twenty-seven beast counterattack moves by the time she was seven. She has never questioned the separation of the sexes or the rules that keep her post-nuclear hometown safe. But when her mother secretly gives birth to a baby beast, Glori grows to love the child and can’t help wondering: What really is the difference between us and them?
