Set in the near future, The Hill follows a community of girls who survive atop a reclaimed garbage dump governed by a strict Manual. Their rule—avoid boys—shapes every choice until that world is unsettled.

When Wren becomes leader after a Departure Ceremony, a disappearance pushes her to leave the Hill and encounter boys for the first time. Her absence coincides with an attack, forcing her to weigh risk, alliance, and the facts behind entrenched rules.

The novel examines gender and power under scarcity, while tracing the social and environmental costs of consumer culture. Wren’s decisions highlight leadership, trust, and how communities remake meaning in crisis.

Lyrical yet gritty, the book offers immersive worldbuilding and a character-driven look at survival, identity, and truth—especially suited to readers interested in feminist speculative fiction.
