Women in Translation | Indonesian through Their Eyes

    Colony

    Book — Prose / Novel — Women in Translation


    Colony

    In the vast underground world of ants, every life serves the colony. Queens give birth to the future. Workers labour without rest. Soldiers defend the nest. And generation after generation, the cycle endures.

    When a catastrophe destroys her home, the young queen Darojak finds refuge in a foreign colony ruled by the formidable Queen Gegana. What begins as survival soon draws her into a struggle over power, succession, and the future of the nest itself.

    As old loyalties harden and new ambitions emerge, Darojak discovers that every colony is built on inherited stories—of duty, sacrifice, fear, and control.

    The queens may change, but the conflicts remain.
