In a future where alien women rule supreme and men are mere possessions, a man's desires become his greatest prison.
When a mysterious temporal anomaly tears through space-time, Lieutenant Ethan Drake awakens centuries into the future aboard his shattered vessel, the ISA Mayflower. But the universe he finds defies imagination - the Gynarchy Empire, an advanced hybrid civilization born from humanity's desperate attempt to survive extinction. In this alien matriarchy, women hold absolute power, and ancient technology binds men to their will.
Trapped in this dystopian future, Ethan becomes entangled in the Empire's growing genetic crisis. He must navigate a deadly game of survival and political intrigue while uncovering disturbing truths about his own nature. His heart is torn between Anaisa Bello, the brilliant engineer who shared his past but now embraces the Empire's ways and a mysterious woman from the Mayflower who will alter his destiny forever. Yet, in the shadows, Dr. Bennett, a master manipulator, orchestrates a plan that threatens not just Ethan's freedom but the very future of their species.
In this breathtaking space opera, T.R. Schneider weaves an epic tale of destiny, forbidden love, and the price of survival. 'Gynarchy' launches readers into a universe where advanced alien technology, interstellar colonization, and matters of the heart collide in an unforgettable story of choice and sacrifice.

Industry Reviews

Gynarchy's Collar is not for the faint of heart. It's erotic, intense, and unapologetically subversive. But if you're drawn to stories that blend sci-fi spectacle with intimate human messiness, and if you're into high-concept world-building with sharp emotional stakes, this one's worth your time. I'd recommend it to fans of The Expanse, Dune, and Fifty Shades of Grey. It's a rare cocktail: space opera meets dark romance with a psychological edge. - Literary Titan Review
