Withheld

By Matt Corton

"The evil that was Ostracia could never be allowed to return. That was what they said. So after the catastrophically failed attempt at genocide by military force, those remembered in Ostracia only as the outsiders instead besieged the town and unleashed a horrific plague on its occupants - a plague that only infects pure Ostracian blood. By the time Assundra Franks, the last, persecuted descendant of an outsider remaining in the now scant leftovers of a once-great civilisation, comes of age, she begins to find herself the focus of attention she wants no part of. As she slowly uncovers the dark secret to the Ostracian side of her ancestry, she begins to wonder if her outsider ancestors had it right all along when deciding to withhold the city from the world. For the remaining plague-ridden Ostracians, the question is not which of the self-nominated saviours has the power to save them, but at what price does that salvation come?"
