Eine Liebe zwischen zwei Welten, zwischen Mensch und Automa – eine Liebe, die das Königreich in den Abgrund reißen oder zu neuer Freiheit führen kann. Nach dem verheerenden Krieg der Arten herrschen die Automae, einst als lebendige Spielzeuge der Menschen erschaffen, über das Königreich Rabu. Die Menschen dienen ihnen, geknechtet und unterdrückt. Ayla, eine junge menschliche Dienerin, schwört, den Tod ihrer Familie zu rächen – indem sie die scheinbar perfekte Tochter des Herrschers, Lady Crier, tötet. Doch auch Crier beginnt zu zweifeln: Mit einem undurchsichtigen Verlobten, einem Vater, der seine finsteren Geheimnisse vor ihr verbirgt, und einer Gesellschaft, die sich immer mehr gegen ihre Familie auflehnt, gerät ihre Loyalität ins Wanken. Dann begegnet sie Ayla. In ihrem atemberaubenden Debüt entführt Nina Varela in eine düstere, faszinierende Welt und stellt uns eine entscheidende Frage: Was bedeutet es, ein Mensch zu sein?

From debut author Nina Varela comes the first book in an Own Voices, richly imagined epic fantasy duology about an impossible love between two girls--one human, one Made--whose romance could be the beginning of a revolution. Perfect for fans of Marie Rutkoski's The Winner's Curse as well as Game of Thrones and Westworld. After the War of Kinds ravaged the kingdom of Rabu, the Automae, designed to be the playthings of royals, usurped their owners' estates and bent the human race to their will. Now Ayla, a human servant rising in the ranks at the House of the Sovereign, dreams of avenging her family's death...by killing the sovereign's daughter, Lady Crier. Crier was Made to be beautiful, flawless, and to carry on her father's legacy. But that was before her betrothal to the enigmatic Scyre Kinok, before she discovered her father isn't the benevolent king she once admired, and most importantly, before she met Ayla. Now, with growing human unrest across the land, pressures from a foreign queen, and an evil new leader on the rise, Crier and Ayla find there may be only one path to love: war.
