My memory of this book is very vague but I am hoping someone can help me find it because it's driving me crazy not being able to find it
I haven't read it in a while but it has to be in the past 6ish years.
The main character is a girl
The society is faced with a king or male ruler and an intimidating army of some kind.
Every year or so someone is plucked from their home and "Sacrificed?"
although I cannot remember the reason for it.
Anyways the girl's sister is taken, and the girl knows her sister is going to die. Therefore she tries to go after her.
I remember both of the girls being skilled fighters and the main character is good with a bow.
There is some sort of bell tower in the town, and once the bell has rung after sunrise or something the person chosen (which I believe only women were chosen) would be thrown into some kind of arena or maze. Also the women "sacrificed" were always put in white. I think i remember a tiger or large cat of some kind being in the maze
I belive the main character doesn't go alone and goes with a boy best friend, with potential romance?
If you recognize this please help me out!

>1 rayna_o17: This is probably a long shot, but some of that sounds like The Hunger Games. Also has a lot similar elements to The Dark Tide (though that's a younger brother instead of sister).

Yeah, I've read hunger games it isn't that. I don't recognize the Dark Tide, But I don't remember it being LGBTQ. But thank you for trying!

You don't mention a minotaur but is it a retelling of or inspired by the story of King Minos' Labyrinth?

>4 rarm: Uhm I looked it up, any books with the King Minos Labyrinth are just the myth and story itself, If you know any that are inspired pls lmk but I cant find my book still

Several of Mary Renault's novels are retelling of Greek myths. One is about the Labyrinth, but can't remember which one and Google is not helping.
