Also if you‘re going to tack “punk” on the end of something as a descriptor I feel it denotes a certain attitude, which this series has in excess.

On the Muslim planet of Umayma, city-states engage in neverending holy war. All boys must serve their time at the front, leading to cities run and populated primarily by women. When men desert, an elite squad of women known as Bel Dames collect their heads.

Nyxnissa so Dasheem is a former Bel Dame and ultra-badass and fate conspires once again to put her up against ruthless killers and brings Rhys Dashasa back into her orbit. Bloody #bugpunk fun
