Description
The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna is a West African-inspired fantasy series that redefines sisterhood and challenges the notion of purity. In a deeply patriarchal ancient kingdom, girls are outcasts by blood and warriors by choice. Sixteen-year-old Deka lives in a world where a woman's worth is tied to her ability to bleed, and she must face a consequence worse than death when she bleeds gold. A mysterious woman saves Deka from a dire fate, revealing her true nature as an Alaki, a near-immortal with exceptional gifts. The stranger offers Deka a choice: fight for the Emperor, with others like her, or be destroyed. This dark feminist tale is a captivating world that feels real, with a fierce female protagonist you'll root for.
