The Gilded Ones (2020)

A tale of blood and wealth weaved by feminism.

Deka, age 16, is terrified and eagerly awaits the blood ceremony that will determine if she will be accepted into her tribe. Deka, who already stands out from the others due to her unusual intuition, prays for red blood in order to feel more at home. However, on the day of the ritual, her blood becomes a purplish gold tint, and Deka knows she will suffer an outcome worse than death.

Then a mysterious woman approaches her and offers her the option to either remain in the hamlet and accept her fate or to join an army of girls who are just like her in fighting for the emperor. They are known as alkali-near-immortals with exceptional abilities. The biggest threat to the empire can only be stopped by them.

“This immediate New York Times Bestseller is the first book in a daring and compelling fantasy series for readers of Children of Blood and Bone and Black Panther.”

The Book Guide® Editor

Deka resolves to leave the only life she has ever known while being aware of the perils that lay ahead and wishing for acceptance. But she will find that the vast walled city has many surprises in store when she travels there to prepare for the biggest battle of her life. Even Deka herself cannot be trusted to be who she claims to be.
