Description
This novel was a near-miss with HarperCollins in 2001. I'm rewriting it now. Here is the synopsis. On a future earth, there are four different kinds of humans. The nephilim -- part human, part demon. The chimeras -- part human, part animal. The clones -- aging, pitifully, undying humans. And standard-issue humans. None of these groups get along. Woden is a nephilim prince who loves Ellie. She doesn't love him but she feels herself drawn to his best friend, Siddhart. However, she belongs to the Creed...and there is no way she will allow herself to fall in love with a demon prince (she hopes.) She has been invited to the annual sacrificial party. Woden is her "ticket" to freedom. Will she marry him to escape her fate? Will she run off with Siddhart? Will she die for her faith?
