The Branded by Jo Riccioni

In a world torn apart, two sisters hold the key to unity, if they can unravel the secrets that bind their fate.

A century after a devastating virus, Isfalk is a society fractured between the Branded, susceptible to illness, and the Pure, who are strong and immune. Orphaned twins Nara and Osha reside within the citadel, their unbranded skin granting them a privileged existence as potential breeders.

Nara yearns to break free from her gilded cage and return to the wild Fornwood of their childhood. But when they are abducted by Wasteland traders, the sisters confront the harsh realities beyond the Walls. Their perilous journey across the Wastelands is only the start of their trials.

When Nara discovers she possesses mysterious powers connected to her hunting prowess, the sisters must rely on the enigmatic Wrangler, a Brand of questionable trustworthiness. As Nara hones her abilities and finds herself drawn to the Wrangler, she realizes her newfound gifts may be the key to their freedom and the rebalancing of power in Isfalk.
