(4) YA Blood of the Lamb series. In a future devastated by plague, one indigenous people is immune. Maryam, a young acolyte of the island's all-powerful (and white) Apostles, realizes that their spiritual leaders have designed a callous scheme to acquire indigenous blood. Hager weaves critiques of systemic racism and religious absolutism into her suspenseful and horrific series opener, but the people's universal cultish credulity is not always believable.
