Adelina Amouteru survived the blood fever that killed thousands—but survival came at a cost. Her hair turned silver, her lashes pale, and her left eye was lost to a jagged scar. Branded a malfetto, her cruel father sees her only as shame, an abomination. Yet whispers tell of survivors with more than scars: strange powers that defy nature. They are the Young Elites.
Hunted by the Inquisition and its ruthless leader, Adelina is torn between survival and vengeance. When she’s discovered by the Dagger Society, a secret sect of Elites, she learns her abilities are darker—and more dangerous—than anyone imagined.
In a world of persecution and betrayal, Adelina must decide if she will be hero, villain, or something far worse.
