In Isfalk, the Branded suffer disease while the Pure live in strength and privilege. Orphaned twins Nara and Osha, unmarked by either brand, are cloistered in the citadel as prized breeding stock for the elite.
Yearning for freedom, Nara flees the citadel, determined to return to the wilds of Fornwood. But outside its walls, she uncovers a rising rebellion among the Branded and a chilling prophecy: the fate of their divided world may rest in her hands.
With danger closing in, Nara must rely on the enigmatic Wrangler, a southern Brand who knows too much about her past. As she unearths hidden powers within herself, she faces a perilous question: can she trust anyone in a world where women are traded like commodities?
The future of Isfalk depends on her choice.
