Locked in. Outnumbered. Outmanoeuvred.
A simple misreading of an application was all it took. When literary matriarch Fiona Ryder sought a new live-in assistant, she expected a woman named Amy. Instead, David Amey arrives at her isolated estate for the interview.
Before the administrative error can be corrected, the world outside abruptly shuts down. Trapped by the sudden 2020 lockdown, Fiona has no choice but to grant David temporary shelter—but her fiercely protective, all-female staff are far from welcoming.
Resentful of a man disrupting their sanctuary, the household begins a quiet, systematic campaign to make David’s life untenable. As Fiona retreats into the isolation of her writing, the women of the estate establish their own strict domestic regime. In this house, rules must be obeyed, and by the time the lockdown lifts, the man who walked through the front door will be a distant memory.
The Estrogen Cage 1 is the first book of The Curfew Series, a slow-burn psychological thriller series exploring shifting dynamics, isolation, and domestic compliance.
The Estrogen Cage was originally published as Lockdown Feminization.
