The Lost Color of Namiri

A world obsessed with color leaves no room for mercy. Humankind is gone, and in the wild order that follows, tribes judge every child by color. Those of mixed blood are cast aside and left for dead. But the jungle keeps its own counsel. The Pariahs, a tribe of the discarded, rescue the unwanted and claim them as their own. Raza leads them. Marked by golden fur in a society that sees only black and white, he stands apart even among outcasts. His difference signals something ancient and unknown, a challenge to the order that shaped him. As tribal war brews, Raza must confront who he truly is and choose between obeying the laws that reject him or rising beyond them. As every decision balances between protecting his people and exposing a broken system, one question remains. Can one outcast prove that blood is the only shade that matters?
