Over the last six weeks, we have given away 38 books to people in this community, and we're about to add plenty to that number. Starting with a full set of The Gilded One's Trilogy!

The Gilded Ones follows a sixteen-year-old girl from a community that has never quite accepted her because she shares her southern mother's darker complexion. A problem that gets so much worse when, during the Ritual of Purity, her blood runs gold, identifying her as a cursed Alaki. Which sets her on a journey of tested loyalty, self discovery and, well... a fight to tear down corruption and save the entire cosmos.
