In the island kingdom of Kenettra, Adelina is a malfetto, one of the few who survived a blood fever to emerge with otherworldly abilities. Adelina is rescued from the Inquisition by a band of malfettos serving dispossessed crown prince Enzo. Lu's vision of gifted young outcasts is a dark one; several hard-hitting twists will shock readers in this series-opener likely to be a hit.
