I […] read this YA fantasy book for a book club I am a part of and I thought it was so good! In this world, every 16 year-old girl goes through a Purity Ritual in which the purity of their blood is revealed. Red blood means you’re human, golden blood means you are not. When main character Deka is discovered as having golden blood, she has to make the decision of being killed or joining the emperor’s secret army to fight the deathshrieks (creatures ravaging the human lands). Through the course of the book, Deka creates wonderful friendships, uncovers dark secrets, and starts to realize the true extent of her powers. A wonderful read all around!
