The Death Pageant: A Worthy Sacrifice
At birth, Magdiel Andalf’s striking beauty marks her to be a contestant in her country’s annual Death Pageant, where the winner receives the coveted title of Worthy Sacrament and is burned alive as a sacrifice to the revered Rain God, Harun. However, since Magdiel’s parents are a part of the secret society of non-believers (those who do not believe in Harun), Magdiel’s beauty is cause for great sorrow.
Her parents are advised by their leader to raise Magdiel to enter the pageant and be a part of their revolutionary plan to dismantle the death pageant system. Magdiel grows up to resent being a part of this plan, because she craves a normal life; and so she desperately seeks a way out.
At 17-years-old, the book follows Magdiel’s struggles to overcome self-will for the greater good. In the midst of all of this, she holds the hearts of two great men: her neighbor and secret, long-time boyfriend; and an undercover non-believer, serving as a eunuch at the king’s Palace- where Magdiel and the other contestants spend a year for pageant preparation.
The story takes place during an Ancient era, in the fictional hill country of Acus. Young women everywhere will relate to Magdiel’s plight in finding her own path to happiness, as well as her resentment towards structures that try to impede her freedom. They will also enjoy the unique and powerful love triangle enfolded within the story, which is the first of a trilogy.
