Previous title: Sixteen
Scarlett Blood lives in a post-apocalyptic world where most of society has been wiped out by a war between humans and demons. The war ended when the two parties came to a shaky agreement.
At the age of sixteen demons are given a choice -give up their powers and live with society as a just-barely-citizen with almost no rights, or be sent to the National Guard and fight for someone you hate. If they don't like either of those options, they're kicked out and become Outcast.
Now, obviously Scarlett doesn't like the first two of these choices, so she becomes an Outcast -the one percent of demons that choose to brave the Wasteland, the uncolonized area of land devastated by the war, rather than become powerless or a bloodthirsty weapon ...but the Wasteland is full of dangers, and soon Scarlett may have to make a terrible choice, between what she knows is right and the way things have always been.
Trigger warnings: Serious gore and murder. //NOT FOR PEOPLE WITH A WEAK STOMACH//
