Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated.

They might use advanced technology or new forms of social organization to do this. For example, they could create their own self - sufficient communities that are based on their pre - colonial values but also incorporate modern scientific knowledge. And there is a strong sense of cultural hybridity, where different cultural elements mix in new and unexpected ways.
