They fear those beyond their walls. But the uprising will come from within.

For as long as anyone could remember, the citizens of the kingdom of Arkovia kept to themselves. Shrouded in mystery, their land closed off from the outside world, avoided mixing with other kinds.

That is, until one young man throws caution to the wind and crosses the border in pursuit of love. And from that love, a child is born – a strange child, a half-half boy, an abomination as far as the Arkovians are concerned.

The half-half grows under the scrutiny of an entire kingdom. The Arkovians have taken measures to ensure no creature like him is ever born again.

But whispers of discontent are beginning to spread through Arkovia. A rebellion is coming, and the half-half boy will have to decide – will he dare to fight for freedom, or will the conformity so engraved in his people’s bones conquer him too?

Author Yossi Ovadia weaves a fantastical allegory, blending action, drama, and lore into a truly irresistible read.
