Shadows in the Blood: A World Transformed by Fever
In the kingdom of Kenettra, a devastating blood fever has left an indelible mark on society. The plague swept through the land a decade ago, proving especially lethal to adults while leaving many children permanently altered. These survivors, known as "malfettos," bear striking physical mutations-silver hair, missing limbs, strangely patterned skin-that make them impossible to hide and easy to persecute. Once-respected families now conceal their marked children, while poorer malfettos are forced into begging or crime. Religious leaders declare them cursed, merchants shun them, and nobles ban them from their courts. Yet whispers tell of malfettos who emerged with extraordinary abilities, earning them the fearsome title of "Young Elites." Adelina Amouteru embodies this cruel dichotomy. The fever claimed her left eye but left her with striking silver hair. Once destined for an advantageous marriage as a merchant's daughter, she became a source of shame to her father, who subjected her to countless abuses while showering her unmarked sister Violetta with affection. This stark contrast taught Adelina that love and power were conditional upon perfection. How often do we create outcasts of those who differ from us? The visible markings of malfettos parallel any physical or cultural difference societies have used to justify discrimination. Meanwhile, the emergence of Young Elite powers suggests a profound truth-sometimes, extraordinary strength arises from trauma and marginalization.
