Men had been a failure. So success now lies in the hands of women.

Surely, there must be something more - something better. And when Jade meets Nyla, the two women forge an unlikely friendship that could change the way women live forever. But can their vision of a new world for women, run by women, survive in a hostile world? AFTER THE FALL Decades later, producer Kiran tracks down Jade and Nyla for her documentary. Her aim? Finally breaking the silence on what went wrong, all those years ago. The truth, though, might be darker than Kiran could ever have imagined . . . The dazzling and unputdownable new novel from Ayisha Malik: fiercely feminist, The Settlers is perfect for fans of The Power and Vox.
