She is saved by a mysterious woman who tells Deka of her true nature: she is an Alaki, a near-immortal with exceptional gifts. The stranger offers her a choice: fight for the Emperor, with others just like her, or be destroyed..."The Gilded Ones redefines sisterhood and is sure to leave readers both inspired and ... |
