When the house always wins, rebellion begins with the one girl they bet against.
Every election season, the districts enter the Dragon Trials, a deadly competition where the next president is chosen through survival, strategy, and blood.
The Crucible enters with wealth, spectacle, and champions polished for victory. Atoll enters with prayers, empty seats, and the certainty that the odds were never meant to favor them.
Nineteen-year-old Freya refuses to accept that place. When she volunteers for the Trials, she knows the maze could become her grave. But Freya is not entering for fame, fortune, or a crown. She is entering to challenge the system that has kept her district beneath everyone else.
Payton Russell has been raised beneath the shadow of victory. As the president’s daughter, she has trained her entire life to win, lead, and prove she is more than the legacy attached to her name. But inside the maze, status can only protect her for so long.
As alliances form and bodies fall, Freya and Payton must survive a game built to expose weakness, reward bloodshed, and crown only the strongest.
The first trial is only the beginning.
