Beskrivning
In a world where a girl's worth is dictated by the color of her blood, sixteen-year-old Deka stands on the brink of a life-altering ceremony. For her village, this ritual signifies purification and acceptance, yet Deka's heartbeat quickens with trepidation, for she carries a secret that could change everything. As the day approaches, she grapples with the uncertainty of her fate, torn between her yearning for acceptance and the fear of being cast out.
When the ceremony reveals her true nature, Deka's life takes an unexpected turn, leading her to a hidden realm where she learns about her extraordinary abilities and the power she possesses. Amidst newly forged friendships and startling revelations, she uncovers the oppressive systems that govern her existence. Together with a group of unlikely allies, Deka embarks on a journey of self-discovery and resilience, challenging the norms that have long dictated her life.
As she faces powerful adversaries, Deka must confront her fears and embrace her identity in a quest for freedom, understanding that true strength lies not only in her blood but also in her spirit. The story poignantly explores themes of empowerment, identity, and the fight against societal constraints, drawing readers into a richly woven narrative filled with courage and transformation.
