Sacre

“I feel so small,” I whisper. “It's scary.”
“We're the only ones like us, right?” Veda says a little more firmly. I realize I hadn't answered his question.
“We're the only ones like us.” I think of that mass of faces, and feel the need to repeat it. “We're the only ones like us. We're the only ones.”

Vorgei is a country that specializes in "seed dolls"; emotionless clones with no sense of free will or self-awareness, perfectly obedient and perfectly easy to teach. That's how it's always been, and that's how it should always be.

In the Sacre family, five dolls are prematurely born. Among them, two are mysteriously showing signs of humanity.
With the estate raising them like children and treating them like dolls, these concious clones are forced to interpret what it means to be 'human' in their own way.
