*Book Riot Must-Read South Asian Book of 2022* A gripping debut unfolds in a South Asian-inspired fantasy world where sixteen-year-old Koral and her brother Emrik risk their lives daily to capture monstrous maristags from the treacherous black seas surrounding their island. Their family's survival hinges on this perilous task, as the ruling elite, the Landers, have indentured them to supply maristags for the Glory Race—a brutal chariot tournament for the upper class, where only the winners reap gold and glory. When the last maristag escapes, Koral's family faces dire financial straits, unable to afford medicine for her ailing little sister. Desperate, Koral makes a daring choice: to cheat her way into the Glory Race, an unprecedented act for someone of her low caste. Competing against seasoned rivals, including her ex-boyfriend, Koral must navigate a treacherous landscape filled with rebellion and threats from those determined to thwart her. As tensions rise and the stakes become life or death, Koral must decide between her own survival and saving her sister before everything she knows is consumed by chaos. Perfect for fans of dystopian fantasy, sea monsters, and intense competition, this tale is a powerful exploration of defiance and the fight against oppression.
