==Plot summary==
The action takes place several centuries after the events of ''Le Silence de la Cité''. Large areas have been drowned by the rising sea and most of Europe is now a poisoned wasteland. Due to a genetic mutation, women now outnumber men by 70 to 1. The collapsed society described in ''Le Silence de la Cité'' has been slowly rebuilt. Post-collapse warlord states have evolved into patriarchal kingdoms - the ''Harems'' - before being overthrown by the ''hives'', female-run city-states, every bit as warlike and tyrannical as their male-run predecessors. Those have in turn been replaced by a more peaceful female dominated society organized as a loose federation of local communities.
The novel follows the life of Lisbeï, the daughter of the "mother" of the Betely community, in the province of Litale. Destined to succeed her she grows up with her sister and friend, Tula, her being barren prevents her from doing so. While exploring ruined tunnels she discovers documents which question everything her society thought it knew about its past.
