Lute and its inhabitants are blessed. They live a happy, superior life, untouched by the war that rages all around them. So it's only fair that every seven years, on the day of the tithe, the island's gift is honoured. Nina Treadway has heard about The Day. Heard about the horrific tragedies, the lives lost. Then The Day begins. And it's a day of nightmares, of grief, of reckoning. But it is also a day of community. Of survival and strength. Of love, at its most pure and untamed. When The Day ends, Nina - and Lute - will never be the same.
