Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood plague: marked by a jagged scar, snow-white hair and lashes. Cast out by her family, Adelina has finally found a place to belong within the secret society of Young Elites. To some, the Elites are heroes, here to save innocents in desperate situations. But to the Inquisition Axis, the white-robed soldiers of Kenettra, they are monsters with demonic powers who must be brought to justice. As Adelina learns more about this perilous world where politics and magic clash, she soon realizes that her own powers may be in danger of bringing on an era of panic such as the world has never seen.
I loved it! I was immediately sucked into the world and cared for Adelina. I was so happy and then the story just went awry and I was so sad. I appreciate the epilogue, in that it planted a seed of hope for me. I am eager to read the next book, hoping Lu fixes some stuff that was important to me.
