The Gilded Ones (Deathless, #1)

by Namina Forna

Besides, I’ll always have Britta. The feelings I have for Keita always make me warm, but Britta’s the one who’s forever there by my side, ready to support me, to push me when I’m being silly, to laugh with me when I need cheer. I’ve learned many things these past few months, and if there’s one thing I know, it’s this: Britta is my dearest friend, and my kinship with her is the foundation I stand on.
