Kompletní popis

A violent storm sends a luxury flight of two hundred women crashing onto an uncharted island. Thirty die on impact, forty are injured, and the survivors are left with almost no food, no medical supplies, and no way to call for help. As desperation grows, a distant column of smoke leads them to a shocking discovery: a massive, solitary man living alone, building shelters, and cooking a full meal as if the island were his home.

When the elders approach him for help, he refuses unless they offer something in return. What he wants is companionship-intimacy-and the women, terrified and starving, eventually agree to a deal they never imagined making. One older woman and three young women must stay with him in exchange for shelter and protection. Soon, more women join, and the arrangement becomes a system: sex for survival.

Months pass. Many women become pregnant, though strangely, every child is a girl. The man-genetically engineered in a secret lab-never tires, never weakens, and never ages. Over the years he builds a thriving settlement, and by the end of the first decade, he has fathered nearly a thousand daughters. The older women die off, the younger ones grow into leaders, and the island transforms into a structured society where children are the law and the man becomes their king.

A century later, the settlement has evolved into a vast metropolis known as Venus City, a matriarchal empire built entirely by women and ruled by a king who still looks thirty. But everything changes when the king undergoes a mysterious transformation-cocooning himself for two days and emerging with a perfect duplicate: a brother. Soon, two more brothers appear, and four kingdoms rise across the island: East, West, South, and North.

For generations, the system holds. The women live, work, and thrive under the rule of the immortal brothers. But then, for the first time in a hundred years, a young woman secretly gives birth to a boy-a child whose existence could shatter the balance of power. Hidden away and raised in secrecy, he grows with one purpose: to end the reign of the fathers and reclaim the future for the daughters of Venus City.
