In a walled city where a woman's worth is determined by her fertility, this dark why choose dystopian romance, The Handmaid's Tale meets The Hunger Games, follows a woman plotting to destroy her city from within until the two men who rule beyond its walls steal her for themselves.
The city of Ilasall teaches every citizen three truths. One: the walls are the only thing keeping you alive. Two: the band on your wrist decides your fate.
Three: a black band means you are nothing.
Kali has worn black her whole life. She has paid for every scrap of freedom with her body, and each favor has brought her closer to the men who rule Ilasall, and to the day she'll bring it down.
Gedeon commands the rebel army beyond the walls, a cold, ruthless bone carver preparing for war. But when he catches Kali sneaking out of the city to watch the stars, he doesn't hesitate. He steals her for himself and ruins every plan she's ever made.
Zion is his second-in-command, a sadist who sharpens his knives on their prisoners. His loyalty to Gedeon has never wavered, until he finds himself caught between a woman desperate to start a war and the man he'd follow anywhere.
So Kali makes a deal in the only currency she's ever had: her body in exchange for their army.
The catch? She thought she was selling pleasure. She never expected them to go after her soul, too.
But with a traitor in their ranks and Ilasall coming to take her back, Kali must choose between the war she's sworn to launch and the two men who would tear the world apart to keep her.
Surrendering to them might be her salvation. Or her last mistake.
You taste like addiction.
