Description
Deep space penal colony Oubliette, population: scum. Lena "Horror" Horowitz leads the Daughters of Forgotten Light, one of three vicious gangs fighting for survival on Oubliette. Their fragile truce is shaken when a new shipment arrives from Earth carrying a fresh batch of prisoners and supplies to squabble over. But the delivery includes two new surprises: a drone, and a baby. Earth Senator Linda Dolfuse wants evidence of the bloodthirsty gangs to justify the government finally eradicating the wasters dumped on Oubliette. There's only one problem: the baby in the drone's video may be hers.

Advance Praise
“A fun, fast, foul-mouthed thrill ride with more than its share of real surprises and pathos.”
– Spencer Ellsworth, author of A Red Peace
“An incredibly diverse cast of villains who all just happen to be female, motorcycles that run on light and a glass prison in space, Daughters of Forgotten Light is a joyride into anarchy and out the other side.”
– Anna Stephens, author of Godblind
“Rollicking pulp action around a deep, dark heart brimming with barely-contained rage. The book balances brutal deprivation and violence against moments of pride, joy, and sadness. Even pitted at deadly odds against one another, the women of Daughters of Forgotten Light form powerful relationships that shine against their bleak world. The book never apologizes and never pulls a punch, and neither do its characters.”
– Caitlin Starling, author of The Luminous Dead
“Put your helmet on! Grit, grease, and fast-paced futuristic action, complete with hardbitten women throwing energy boomerangs while speeding on motorcycles, makes this a riveting ride.”
– Cat Rambo, Nebula nominee and president of SFWA
“High octane and hard hitting. Daughters of Forgotten Light is exactly what I want from sci-fi: badass women getting it done… with unapologetic grindhouse glam.”
– KC Alexander, author of Necrotech and Mass Effect: Andromeda: Nexus Uprising
“Grab your energy boomerang and get ready for a wild ride! Grigsby’s latest book is a full-throttle nightmarish sci-fi Mad Max: Fury Road. It’s violent, intense, and packed with passion as exiled women fight for their very right to exist.”
– Beth Cato, Nebula nominee and author of Breath of Earth
“Another opportunity for Grigsby to deliver on a brilliant concept – in this case, a sci-fi thriller than blends the righteous anger of Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine de Landro’s Bitch Planet with the crackerjack action thrills of Escape from New York.”
– Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog

Utopia S, Reviewer
Where do you even start with a book like that. If you are looking for classic science fiction, this book got you covered. If you are looking for a story in a dystopian world, this book got you covered. If you are looking for an absolutely crazy story which keeps you guessing at every step of the way, this book will deliver on that too. It's actually a combination of all of those aspects smashed together into one.
The main plot of the story is taking place in some sort of space prison for women. Without any guards or supervision they have formed gangs and established some form of a society. As you can imagine, the population is not overly happy with their current situation and they won't stop for anything to get back. How they do that? Well, I guess it's time for you to step on the roller coaster and start reading the book.
