{"product_id":"the-gilded-ones","title":"The Gilded Ones","description":"A New York Times bestseller. The must-read epic fantasy of 2021, as featured on Cosmo, Buzzfeed, BookRiot and Refinery 29. In this West African-inspired world, girls are outcasts by blood and warriors by choice, perfect for fans of Children of Blood and Bone and Black Panther. Sixteen-year-old Deka lives in Otera, a deeply patriarchal ancient kingdom, where a woman's worth is tied to her purity, and she must bleed to prove it. But when Deka bleeds gold - the colour of impurity, of a demon - she faces a consequence worse than death. She is saved by a mysterious woman who tells Deka of her true nature: she is an Alaki, a near-immortal with exceptional gifts. The stranger offers her a choice: fight for the Emperor, with others just like her, or be destroyed... \"Fans of Children of Blood and Bone and Black Panther are going to adore this one.\" -Buzzfeed \"[A] stormingly good debut\" - The Observer \"Namina Forna could be the Toni Morrison of YA Fantasy.\" - Refinery 29 \"The Gilded Ones redefines sisterhood and is sure to leave readers both inspired and ultimately hopeful.\" --Stephanie Garber, #1 NYT bestselling author of Caraval \"The Gilded Ones is a fierce, unflinching fantasy that marks Forna as a debut to watch.\" - Kiersten White, New York Times bestselling author of And I Darken \"Debut author Namina Forna's created a fierce female protagonist you'll root for and a captivating world that feels so real you can step inside it.\" - Bookriot\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAuthor: Namina Forna,author\u003cbr\u003eContributors: Namina Forna,author\u003cbr\u003eBinding: paperback\u003cbr\u003eNumber Of Pages: 416\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: \u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: \u003cbr\u003eLanguages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis\u003cbr\u003eEdition: 1\u003cbr\u003ePublished\/Release Date: 4 Feb 2021\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003ePublisher\/Studio\/Brand: Usborne Publishing Ltd\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Director\/Artist: Namina Forna\u003cbr\u003eDimension (cm): 199x131x27 mm\u003cbr\u003ePackage Dimension (cm): 30x198x129 mm\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight (g): 430\u003cbr\u003ePackage Weight (g): 330","brand":"Usborne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53289914597673,"sku":"BK1474959571","price":67.19,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/5868\/0105\/files\/9781474959575.jpg?v=1786390964","url":"https:\/\/www.centloop.com\/products\/the-gilded-ones","provider":"Centloop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
