Shield Maidens of Roe: The Collective Circle of Resistance

Introducing the “Shield Maidens of Roe” series – a revolutionary narrative where women fight back against a dystopian America that’s stripped away their rights. When abortion is banned nationally and women are confined by travel restrictions and breeding centers, ten fierce feminists unite to dismantle the patriarchy by any means necessary. This isn’t just fiction – it’s a battle cry.

The books

Five books, in order

Book I

The Collective Circle of Women

July 2027

Five women. One living room. The night they decide they have had enough. What starts as an informal gathering becomes the foundation for something none of them planned — and something the patriarchy will spend four more books trying to dismantle.

Book II

The Fall of the Patriarchy

January 2028

The circle is growing. So is the opposition. When one of the five lands in the center of a political firestorm, the others must decide how far they are willing to go — and who they are willing to become — to protect what they’ve built.

Book III

The Revenge of the Maidens

July 2028

They came for one of them. They got all five. The midpoint of the series is its darkest chapter — and the moment that transforms a coalition into something that cannot be stopped. Revenge, it turns out, looks a lot like justice.

Book IV

The War on Women

January 2029

The war is no longer quiet. Book IV opens with the movement at its most visible — and most vulnerable. Alliances fracture. Stakes escalate. And the woman who started it all must decide whether leading means stepping forward or stepping back.

Book V · Pre-order

The Rise of the Matriarchy

July 2029

The conclusion to The Shield Maidens of Roe. Five books in the making, five women whose paths have crossed, diverged, and converged — and now the reckoning has come. The patriarchy didn’t see them coming. That was its first mistake.
