“Fans of Children of Blood and Bone and Black Panther are going to adore this one.” Buzzfeed The stranger offers her a choice: fight for the Emperor, with others just like her, or be destroyed… She is saved by a mysterious woman who tells Deka of her true nature: she is an Alaki, a near-immortal with exceptional gifts. But when Deka bleeds gold – the colour of impurity, of a demon – she faces a consequence worse than death. Sixteen-year-old Deka lives in Otera, a deeply patriarchal ancient kingdom, where a woman’s worth is tied to her purity, and she must bleed to prove it. In this world, girls are outcasts by blood and warriors by choice, perfect for fans of Children of Blood and Bone and Black Panther. The must-read new bold and immersive West African-inspired fantasy series, as featured on Cosmo, Bustle, Book Riot and Refinery 29.
