The Gilded Ones
Deka is a girl whose blood runs gold instead of red, marking her for death in a kingdom that worships purity. Drafted into an army of other gold-blooded girls, she uncovers a truth that could topple the gods themselves. A West African-inspired YA dark fantasy trilogy about resilience, sisterhood and the gods who demand women's suffering.
