**FEATURED on the official Wattpad NA page, in Sci-Fi/Fantasy** A far-away place, a peaceful population... and a yearly sacrifice? Cerule--a prosperous planet lodged in the Andromeda galaxy, full of lively, happy humans, luxurious and abundant vegetation, and represented by mysterious cerulean crystals. But it's also home to a terrifying sacrificial ritual that takes one (un)lucky eighteen year old from its family once a year... to eat it. Yes, *eat*. The Eldian Monsters, concealed creators dwelling underground, benevolent overseers of the land, require human sacrifices to keep the world running despite its massive handicap, referred to as the "Rotation Halt." The planet... no longer spins on its own axis. So, to somehow maintain the inhabitants livelihoods, these ever-lasting beings resolve to using a dark ritual that all Ceruleans respect and revere... all but eighteen-year-old Melaynia Roya. She lost her sister twelve years ago to this sinister rite of passage, and unfortunately her life is about to revolve around it once more... as she is now the eligible age of Sacrifice. Can she escape the deadly future ahead of her and uncover the truth behind the ritual before it's too late?
