Mother Of Eden by Chris Beckett
A young islander named Starlight leaves her secluded home for the mainland of a sunless, bioluminescent world and is elevated to the role of “Mother,” a living symbol at the center of rival societies descended from stranded ancestors. As political factions manipulate her image and patriarchal traditions tighten around her, she confronts the corrosive power of myth and authority. Her struggle to assert compassion and justice sparks upheaval that forces everyone to question what kind of future they are building.
