Gaunt Rainbow

Gaunt Rainbow is set in a bleak dystopia twenty years after a pivotal event in the war between the Chosen caste and heathens; the destruction of the walled city called Capital. A young woman nicknamed Rainbow is cursed and drains life from living beings so that she remains in perfect health. When she was a girl, a self-proclaimed messiah, a pubescent boy, cured her blindness. Pamela's curse began after the miracle, but the boy then vanished. She goes into the Shur desert alone to find the errant messiah. She hopes the grown boy will remove her murderous curse.
