Times bestselling author of And I Darken The start of a bold and immersive West
African-inspired  feminist fantasy series for fans of Children of Blood and Bone and Black
Panther. In this world  girls are outcasts by blood and warriors by choice. Sixteen-year-old
Deka lives in fear and anticipation of the blood ceremony that will determine whether she will
become a member of her village. Already different from everyone else because of her unnatural
intuition  Deka prays for red blood so she can finally feel like she belongs. But on the day of
the ceremony  her blood runs gold  the color of impurity-and Deka knows she will face a
consequence worse than death. Then a mysterious woman comes to her with a choice: stay in the
village and submit to her fate  or leave to fight for the emperor in an army of girls just like
her. They are called alaki-near-immortals with rare gifts. And they are the only ones who can
stop the empire's greatest threat. Knowing the dangers that lie ahead yet yearning for
acceptance  Deka decides to leave the only life she's ever known. But as she journeys to the
capital to train for the biggest battle of her life  she will discover that the great walled
city holds many surprises. Nothing and no one are quite what they seem to be-not even Deka
herself.
