They called her Eve.

Eve lives alone in the Tower under the strict gaze of the Mothers. She is prized and protected, because she is the last girl on earth.

Until she meets Bram.

Eve sees a chance for something she never thought could be hers.

But how do you choose between love and the future of humanity?

Chapter 3 - 'Refugee Boy' KS3-5 by Benjamin Zephaniah

Wolf Hall  - Hilary Mantel KS4/5

Sixteen-year-old Deka lives in Otera, where a woman's worth is tied to her purity.  When Deka bleeds gold - the colour of impurity, of a demon - she faces eternal torture.  She is saved by a mysterious woman who reveals the truth - Deka is an Alaki, a near-immortal with exceptional gifts.  Her choice: fight for the Emperor with her kin, or be destroyed.

This is a fast-paced fantasy adventure with some scenes of violence, injury and death which some readers may find distressing.  However, it is also the story of discovery and of the deep bonds of friendship and belonging. A great story for questioning how we can ever know someone's true gifts, if the rituals and routines of a society do not encourage them to flourish.
