Imagine a world of purebloods inspired by an angry God. Imagine a world where to be different means to die. Tiger's father owns the largest arena in the province. It kills more mutants than anywhere else. Since she was a small child, she has watched them die with indifferent eyes - until the striped boy is brought into the arena. The striped boy throws her a simple stone; it becomes her most precious possession. He will change her life and turn her world upside down. Tiger, the high-caste pureblood, will learn how to feel and how to love the mutants she has been taught to despise, but it will be at a cost no woman should have to pay
