Chapter 1

Chasity was born a nix, she will stay a nix, she will marry a nix, her children will be nixes, and she will die a nix. That's the law.

When chasity was five, she was forced to attend the Appearance. The Appearance is a formal ceremony in which the child is placed into his or her rightful spot on the social status of life and given a emblem of their rank burned onto their skin. Her mother and father were the the lowest class, poor and defenseless, or nixes. Though when chasity went to her Reappearance, a initiation into adulthood, she notices something...

Her emblem is different.
