This Dystopian Fantasy was absolutely amazing. It is set in a world where the caste you are born into determines exactly what you will be. There is little movement among castes and discrimination is rampant. A war is on and times are hard. There is a significant social movement stirring as this book begins. Our heroine, Einan ignites the flames that start a revolution. This is a story of love and justice, and it is a story of faith.This story is so dark and I found myself sucked in at this point wondering when this poor woman would catch a break. She is beaten down, but not broken. No matter what life throws her way, she keeps going. She becomes and advocate and a mother. She is the protector of those who can not stand up for themselves. And through it all, Einan discovers that she can love again.Despite the dark tone of the book, it is still quite hopeful. Ein is visited by the spirit mother of her people. She is guided on a journey to save the children.  Einan brings hope where it hasn’t been any in quite some time. She becomes legendary and almost untouchable.The whole book is written in first person from Einan’s point of view. I would categorize this as a Dystopian Fantasy/ Erotica. There is a love story but it is not the primary element. The sex scenes are quite steamy and involves multiple partners. There are BDSM elements as well as some non-consensual sex. It is set in a time reminiscent of the Late Middle Ages. It is dark but compelling. I found it difficult to put down. Well done!I would highly recommend this book to all of my friends.
