Sovereign

Number 332 is living to be sacrificed.

A teen with no name, she and nine other Orphans will be left in the Fields as gifts, and the town will be blessed with a decade of bountiful harvests - just as they have for the past three centuries.

But after so long, even the town Elders begin to question the decennial Sending and the very existence of the gods they worship.

What will happen to the isolated little village if they stop believing? 332 could have a life of her own, one not promised to the unknown Sovereign.

And yet, maybe the legends are true after all. Maybe the scrawled message that sealed 332's fate along with the hundreds of others who came before her is still to be heeded.

Every 10 years.
