“Fans of Children of Blood and Bone, Mulan, and the Dora Milaje from Black Panther are going to adore [The Gilded Ones].”—BuzzFeed
It's been six months since Deka freed the goddesses in the ancient kingdom of Otera and discovered who she really is... but war is waging across the kingdom, and the real battle has only just begun. For there is a dark force growing in Otera—a merciless power that Deka and her army must stop.
Yet hidden secrets threaten to destroy everything Deka has known. And with her own gifts changing, Deka must discover if she holds the key to saving Otera... or if she might be its greatest threat.
The Merciless Ones is the second thrilling installment of the epic fantasy series in which a young heroine fights against a world that would dare tame her.

Expert narration by Imani Jade Powers adds to the personalities of the characters in Forna's second installment of The Gilded Ones. Powers's voices, inflections, and interpretations will inspire listeners to seek out the first in the series if they haven't already heard it. The complex plot continues the story of Deka, a teenaged girl who was born with the precious yet feared gold blood, which gives her special powers even in the face of the prejudice against her. Powers's narration portrays Deka's struggles as she fights in the war that was started when she freed the goddesses in the ancient Otera kingdom. Those looking for creative, diverse characters and solid YA fantasy with a little romance should look no further. C.F. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
