Synopsis

Number 332 is living to be sacrificed.

A teen with no name, she and nine other Orphans will be left in the Fields as gifts, and the town will be blessed with a decade of bountiful harvests - just as they have for the past three centuries.

But after so long, even the town Elders begin to question the decennial Sending and the very existence of the gods they worship.

What will happen to the isolated little village if they stop believing? 332 could have a life of her own, one not promised to the unknown Sovereign.

And yet, maybe the legends are true after all. Maybe the scrawled message that sealed 332's fate along with the hundreds of others who came before her is still to be heeded.

Every 10 years.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

AJ Whitney grew up outside a rural Midwestern farming community until she was ten years old. She spent her days playing among the trees and in cornfields; splashing in the creek; riding bikes down country roads; catching bugs, frogs, and tadpoles; and attempting to befriend the neighbors' cows and horses. When she wasn't outdoors, she usually had her nose buried in a book, teaching herself to read at the age of three and reading her first three-hundred-page novel in only second grade. She spent her middle and high school years in the small town of Havana, Illinois, where she had her first jobs in a bookstore and the local public library. She spent these formative years learning how a close-knit community functions, for better or for worse.After high school, AJ went on to earn her bachelor's degree in counseling and her master's in school counseling. She has lived with her family in several different places-Versailles, Missouri, in the Ozarks; Maryville, Missouri; Cherryvale, Kansas; and Artesia, New Mexico, south of Roswell and north of the famous Carlsbad Caverns-before finally settling in the Kansas City metro several years ago. AJ is a practicing middle school counselor with a heart for helping kids through the most tumultuous years of their lives. Besides reading, she is also passionate about mental health; diversity, equity, and inclusion; parenting; chronic illness; and just generally caring for other people. In her spare time, she enjoys singing, music, painting, photography, board games, cooking (but not cleaning!), and all animals.Check out her social media here: -TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@aj_thewriter-Instagram: www.instagram.com/aj.thewriter-Facebook: www.facebook.com/ajwhitneybooks
