They must rid themselves of their dangerous magic before returning purified and ready to marry - if they're lucky.The Grace Year is The Handmaid's Tale meets Lord of the Flies - a page-turning feminist dystopia about a young woman trapped in an oppressive society, fighting to take control of her own life.
