Kim Liggett - The Grace Year - A tizenhatodik year

No one talks about the year of grace. In Garner County, young girls are believed to use their magical powers to subvert marriages and enslave men. Even their special skin emits an irresistible aphrodisiac, which is the magic of adolescent girls on the verge of womanhood. Thus, in their sixteenth year of life, they are banished to the wild nature, to an island, so that there they can get rid of their dark power and become willing wives. Anyone who returns home alive. Sixteen-year-old Tierney James dreams of a better life for himself, of a world that doesn't pit women and friends against each other. However, when the year of grace begins for him, he quickly realizes that he is not the only one to be afraid of the raging elements. Not only from the trenchers, who hunt for prey among the camp residents, to sell their body parts that promise eternal youth to the county residents at exorbitant prices. The biggest threat lurks elsewhere. Will he be able to resist the words of his heart?
