It is the year 2093. In this fantasy zone where sword and superstition meet sci-fi adventure, two women make a daring escape to freedom. Whit, a bold woman warrior from an Amazon nation, rescues Amelia from a dismal world where females are either breeders or drones. Together they journey over grueling terrain to the shining world of Artemis, and in their struggle to survive, find themselves unexpectedly drawn to each other. Whit brings Amelia to live in a world divided. Their enemies live in Elysium, on one side of the electro-magnetic Border, where men reign as Procurators and Reverends, descendants of early 21st Century power elites and those who aped them; on the other side live the Freelanders, whose democratic city-colonies are inclusive of women, minorities, and lesbians, and there they have established a safe haven for social progress. But it is in the safety of Artemis, Whit's home colony of Freeland Warriors, that danger truly lurks. For beneath Amelia's haunting dreams hides a secret which cannot be allowed to surface: a secret of Isis, the colony mysteriously destroyed ten years earlier. And in the ruins of Isis is the ghost of a fallen Leader who has been waiting for Amelia's return.

Full of high adventure, mystery, love, and excitement, this book kicks off the Isis Series in high style.

After a six year break, Jean Stewart finally begins a new trilogy about the Freeland Warriors of Isis.

The sky offered no second chances. The women of Isis had to save their world now. Or never.

Now, as the satellites that maintain the Border threaten to fail, all of Freeland is menaced by war with Elysium. The women of Isis refuse to wait idly for slaughter. Led by Tomyris "Whit" Whitaker and her chief of staff - and former lover - Loy Chen, they are attempting to launch a mission to replace the deteriorating satellites that protect the Border. But General Medusa is convinced that a civilian task force cannot succeed in this critical mission and challenges their control. As Whit and Medusa play politics, sparks fly between the woman rivals they have each chosen to pilot the shuttle, Loy Chin and Major Mika Reno. But the crumbling Border satellites cannot wait for the orderly process of the Council, nor for disorderly love affairs as the women cling to what may be their last taste of freedom.

On the ground, Whit’s partner, Kali Tyler, works frantically to restore the Border by revising the computer programs her mother created years ago to protect Freeland. As Whit and Kali leave one another, they are fired by memories of their own mothers' deaths in the previous attack on Isis, and by the desire to live in a free world where they can raise the child that Kali is carrying.

As love and duty become one, the lesbians of Isis risk their lives in a battle of wits and courage that will determine whether women will live free or die enslaved.

The year is 2095. Following a deadly plague, America has split into two civilizations: Elysium on the east coast and Freeland on the west, with a vast continent made up of a Wilderness and a radioactive Toxic Zone between them.

The Leader of Isis, Tomyris Whitaker, and her wing woman Danu Sullivan, have chased two Elysian jets across the Border and into the land inhabited by Freeland’s mortal enemy, the Elysium Regulators. Following the crash landing of their aircraft, the Freelanders are cast adrift in a civilization that has regressed almost four hundred years. Elysium has become a feudal empire of politically powerful clerics, landholders and serfs, a land of king-like Procurators where strong-minded women are condemned as witches and burned at the stake. Whit and Danu fall in with a band of Amazon rebels and begin raising havoc. Meanwhile, in Freeland, Kali Tyler and Tor Yakami, grow impatient with procedural delays and mount their own rescue mission. Kali and Tor borrow a merchant ship and head out on their own, determined to save their friends. But there is something strange going on in the Allegheny Highlands of West Virginia, something more than a band of Amazons and four Freelanders determined to be reunited. Kali’s rescue mission soon goes awry, and Whit finds herself fighting to save Kali’s life.

If you love women, romance, and action-adventure, the Isis series is for you!
