The Gilded Ones

Sixteen-year-old Deka lives in Otera, a deeply patriarchal ancient kingdom, where a woman's worth is tied to her purity, and she must bleed to prove it. But when Deka bleeds gold - the colour of impurity, of a demon - she faces a consequence worse than death. She is saved by a mysterious woman who reveals 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 like her, or be destroyed...

The Merciless Ones

It's been six months since Deka freed the goddesses in Otera and discovered her true identity. But war is raging across the kingdom, and the real battle has just begun. A dark force is growing in Otera – a merciless power that Deka and her army must stop. Hidden secrets threaten to destroy everything Deka knows, and with her gifts changing, she must discover if she holds the key to saving Otera or if she might be its greatest threat.

The Eternal Ones

Deka is a goddess-in-waiting with the potential to save her people from the brutal ancient goddesses terrorizing Otera. First, she must find her celestial essence - if the Gilded Ones find it first, they will drain her power and tear Otera apart. Alongside her army of friends, Deka faces the hardest battle of her life - not just against the goddesses but with her own doubts. What if becoming a goddess makes her as evil as the Gilded Ones? Is she ready to leave her earthly life and loves behind?
