So good... Manon and Anais give recast what consent is all about... and that's a refreshing departure from everything else in the genre.

Re:Claim

"When feral is all you've got left,

fierce is the only way forward."

Exiled to a Swiss boarding school after an assault, French heiress Manon refuses to be silenced. Teaming up with hacker Anaïs and roommate Beatrix, she orchestrates a daring heist to steal a billionaire's blackmail archive. Re:claim is a fierce, consent-forward sapphic thriller of ultimate feminist revenge.

Eighteen-year-old French heiress Manon de Rochemaure learns that in the world of elite European privilege, silence is often treated as easier than the truth. After violently defending herself against an attempted sexual assault by her entitled classmate, Étienne Servan, Manon is quietly transferred to Le Rolle Academy, an exclusive Swiss boarding school designed to manage the scandals of the ultra-wealthy.

But Manon refuses to be quietly managed. Guided by her brilliant hacker friend and romantic interest, Anaïs Diop, Manon discovers that Étienne's media-magnate father, Laurent Servan, is hiding something far more dangerous. Anaïs traces a hidden data trail to a highly secure Swiss bank vault containing an extensive archive of illicit recordings and blackmail material used to exploit young women.

Teaming up with her sharp-witted American roommate Beatrice, a security expert named Noa, and a conflicted banker's son, Lucian, Manon orchestrates a daring heist to breach the vault and steal the hard drives. To dismantle Servan's empire, the teenagers form an anonymous whistleblower collective called Les Louves (The Wolves), fronted by a digital persona named "Belle". Their strict code: expose the corrupt systems and the men who run them, but never publish the victims' pain.
