In Allena, everyone has a place. Don't commit a serious crime and you are safe for life. there will be a place for you until you die. Well, unless you win. Far away, there is a hideous land called Stula. Demons and terrors inhabit the lands. Once a year, all the thirteen-year-olds must submit a blood sample, fingerprint, and ID. There is typically always a different number of people who 'win'. The people who 'win' are sent to be eaten by the demons of Stula. In exchange, the demons leave the people of Allena alone. But what if... something different was going on?
